CJI Chandrachud said the issue, whether the powers under Article 239AA (7)(a) of the constitution could be invoked to make the law of the present nature, was not considered by the earlier two constitution benches in 2018 and 2023.
"The ordinance comes out as a constitutional fraud on the people of Delhi, its elected representatives, and the Constitution," Supreme Court Justice (retired) Madan B Lokur writes, exposing the unconstitutionality of the Centre's ordinance," Kejriwal said in a tweet while sharing an excerpt from retired Supreme Court Justice Madan B Lokur's article.
Delhi CM has also requested the parties to make their political stand on this matter very clear during the meeting.
Thanking the CPI for its gesture, the Delhi CM said their support will be of immense help in the fight of two crore Delhiites against the suppression of their rights.
The Delhi CM tweeted: "Sought time this morning to meet Congress president Kharge ji and Rahul Gandhi ji to discuss general assault on federal structure and prevailing political situation."
The Delhi chief minister said Trinamool Congress will oppose the bill that the BJP government will bring in Parliament to replace its ordinance on control of services in Delhi.
The Delhi chief minister had announced that he would be travelling across the country to lobby support against the ordinance that gives the control of 'services' back to the Delhi Lieutenant Governor.
Congress leaders Partap Singh Bajwa, Ajay Maken, Sandeep Dikshit and other leaders were present at the meeting.
The ordinance came after the apex court gave the Delhi government control in services matters, including transfer and posting of officers.
