She further demanded the Delhi government to provide security to the officers and guarantee them protection from any further instances of violence or misconduct.
She also said, since last years, the Delhi Administration Subordinate Service (DAAS) association has been under pressure, forcing various bureaucrats to take voluntary retirement.
She added, "Since these two Ministries are directly connected to Delhi government, that is why we wanted to tell them about this of the incident and our reaction. We all our government employees and are not affiliated by any (political party), (we) are greatly hurt by the incident and whatever we are doing is our Constitutional right".
The Delhi Chief Secretary had alleged an assault on February 20 by the members of legislative assembly of Aam Aadmi Party and a case was registered with the Delhi Police. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party had refuted such claims and in return accused the Chief Secretary of abusing the party MLA.
