Congress MLA disrupts Kejriwal's press meet, demands SIT probe into Batla House encounterTNN | Jan 30, 2014, 02.56 PM IST NEW DELHI: Congress legislator Asif Muhammad Khan on Thursday disrupted Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's press conference and demanded a probe into the Batla House encounter case. Khan, a legislator from Okhla, said that Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Arvind-Kejriwal> despite promising a special investigating team (SIT) probe into the case is now refusing to do so. "He (Kejriwal) had promised the people of Okhla that he will probe the Batla House encounter case, and had even distributed handbills saying the same," said Khan, adding that Kejriwal is now backtracking from his promise. "I will vote against the AAP <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/AAP> government in the assembly, even if Congress expels me from the party," MLA Asif Mohammad Khan <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Asif-Mohammad-Khan> said. Arvind Kejriwal was addressing the media on completion of the one-month of the AAP government in Delhi. Kejriwal said that corruption has come down during the one-month rule of the AAP government and they are trying to end VIP culture in Delhi. "An interesting campaign was launched to tackle corruption. I do not have a scientific study to show corruption has been reduced but there are individual incidents where people have come and told me that money is not being asked," said Kejriwal at a press conference. "I had sent the volunteers five days ago to different departments and it is their observation that in most department corruption has been reduced but in VAT the same system is in progress," added Kejriwal. He went on to say that "there is a sense of fear which is necessary so we are encouraging that some independent organisation does a survey and checks what amount of change in corruption has been made". On Lokpal Bill, Kejriwal said: "The Delhi Lokpal Bill will be introduced in the cabinet on Friday and in 10-15 days there might be an assembly session and there it will be passed."
