Assembly Speaker: Revenue Secretary alleged fake interview to be probed

New Delhi, March 20: Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel ordered two Assembly committees to study Revenue Secretary Manisha Saxena's interview to a Hindi daily in which she alleged that on February 21 a mob attacked the principal and teachers of a government school for scolding a student.

Saxena, a member of the Joint Forum of Delhi Government Employees, was at the forefront of protests against the government after an alleged attack on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash by two AAP MLAs in the presence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

On Tuesday, the Speaker referred the matter to Privileges Committee and Question and Reference Committee of the Assembly.

Speaking on the issue, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia termed Saxena's interview as an "imaginary story" and said that such an incident never took place.
