Legislative Assembly
National Capital Territory of Delhi

“This House strongly condemns the attempt by the Union Government to dilute the efforts for eradication of corruption from Delhi by curtailing the jurisdiction of the Anti Corruption Branch. Vide Gazette Notification dated 23rd July 2014, the Union Home Ministry has unilaterally restricted the powers of the Anti Corruption Branch and limited it to only the officers and employees of the Government of Nation Capital Territory of Delhi. This House fully understands the will of the people of Delhi to completely eradicate the scourge of corruption from every sphere of life and resolves that no efforts to dilute the anti-corruption movement should be tolerated. This House further resolves that the matter be immediately taken up with the Union Government to withdraw the notification and directs that the Anti Corruption Branch of the government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi should function as per its original mandate as it existed prior to the notification dated 23rd July 2014.”
