#21UdteMLA: Hashtag Emerges After 21 Delhi Lawmakers Face Possible Disqualification

On Monday, India's president denied a bill that would protect 21 Aam Aadmi Party lawmakers who additionally had been named parliamentary secretaries by Arvind Kejriwal's government in Delhi

Office of parliamentary secretary is defined as an office of profit if one looks at the statutes of Delhi. According to GNCT Act, Delhi can have only one Parliamentary secretary attached to Chief Minister’s Office,” Jung said while speaking to a television news channel.

In order to avert the constitutional crisis, AAP government passed the dual office bill to legalize the appointment of 21 parliamentary secretaries. However, the bill had to be sent to President for approval.

According to sources within AAP, the Delhi government will move the Supreme Court to challenge the decision of the President.
