Arvind Kejriwal met Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde amid controversy over a strongly worded warning that his government has issued to the Delhi Police, after it refused to suspend three cops on the chief ministers demand. Mr Kejriwal and other AAP ministers say theyll sit on dharna outside the Home Ministers office from Monday if their demand for suspending the cops isnt met. Aam Aadmi Party minister Manish Sisodia said the Home Minister has promised to consider their request and would convey his decision in few days. At least the police stations in the NDMC area should come under us, if the Centre wants to retain overall control, Mr Sisodia said. The Delhi Police reports to the Lieutenant Governor. A few hours ago Mr Sisodia had issued a strongly worded warning, saying, This is not the Sheila Dikshit government. We are being accused of vigilantism, but we are a different government. Whether the police come under us or not, we will demand action. If the police dont fall in line, well fix them. Arvind Kejriwal sought an appointment with Mr Shinde after Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi, at a meeting with Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, told the CM today that he would not suspend cops who the state government says refused to act on complaints by its ministers. Mr Bassi was also present at the meeting at the North Block office of Mr Shinde
