Cong, BJP demand resignation of Imran Hussain from AAP govt

Congress and BJP today demanded the resignation of Delhi Environment minister Imran Hussain who is facing corruption charges.
Delhi High Court while hearing a petition today has sought reply of the Delhi Police regarding transferring a case registered against Hussain to CBI.
Mohammad Qasim who has filed a complaint against Hussain and others, has sought transfer of the probe in the case to CBI, alleging that the police was "deliberately shielding" the accused.
Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken demanding the resignation of Hussain said that the party workers will stage a protest at Delhi Secretariat for his removal from the AAP government.

Delhi BJP too demanded that Hussain be dropped from the Delhi cabinet till the court decides on the corruption complaint against him as his staying in office can "hamper" fair investigation.
Qasim who has alleged that Hussain had demanded illegal gratification of Rs 30 lakh from him for carrying out construction work, had lodged a complaint on the basis of which an FIR was registered by the police against the minister and others in February this year.
Congress had released a sting operation video in this connection.
