Arvind Kejriwal to hold all party meet today

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will hold an all-party meeting with the Supreme Court-appointed Monitoring Committee on unauthorised constructions in the national Capital on Wednesday to find a solution to the ongoing sealing drive.

According to the sources, the CM has invited leaders of the Congress and the BJP to attend the meeting to be held with the committee at the Delhi Secretariat. Last week, Kejriwal had sought an appointment with the Supreme Court-appointed panel to discuss the sealing issue.

"Following the recent request of the chief minister, the committee representatives will come to Delhi Secretariat tomorrow for a meeting over sealing issue. The chief minister has also invited BJP and Congress to attend this meeting," the official said.

Earlier this month, Kejriwal had held an all-party meeting to find a solution to the ongoing sealing drive being carried out by municipal corporations against commercial establishments for violating civic norms since December last year following the directions of the Monitoring Committee.

During the meeting held at Kejriwal's residence on March 13, the AAP and the Congress had agreed to raise their voice in Parliament through their MPs against the drive.

The meeting was attended by Kejriwal and other AAP leaders as well as three members of the Delhi Congress, led by DPCC chief Ajay Maken. The BJP, however, did not take part in it.
