Officials denied the strike

Revenue Secretary Manisha Saxena accompanied by Transport Commissioner Varsha Joshi, South Delhi District Magistrate Amjad Tak and Information and Publicity Secretary Jaidev Sarangi held a press conference in the Press Club here. He said that the officers of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in Delhi are working with great sincerity and dedication. Officials also said that they are not involved in politics and are neutral. His work is to implement government policies.
‘We Made A Target’
They said, ‘We are only responsible for law and constitution.’ Saxena said, “We were targeted and said that we are working with someone. We would like to point out that we are not on strike. ” Significantly, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is holding a dharna with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and other Ministers in the office of the Lieutenant Governor. They are demanding that Lt Governor Anil Baijal should instruct the IAS officers to end the strike.
Kejriwal is sitting on the road for seven days
Arvind Kejriwal has been sitting on dharna for seven days. He said that, we will not be here from here, as long as LG does not direct IAS officers to start cooperation with my government again. For three months they are refusing to attend the meetings we have been invited, and by following any instructions. Have you heard about giving up the work of IAS officers in any part of the country …?
