A division bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli of the Delhi High Court have sought response and directed appearance of AAP Cabinet Minister Imran Hussain, on a plea alleging hoarding and distribution of oxygen cylinders by the leader from his office at Ballimaran in New Delhi.
The plea filed by one Vedansh Anand, pleaded by Adv Amit Tiwari, alleged that it was filed basis a post with pictures posted on the AAP leader's verified Facebook handle, wherein a long queue of people could be seen waiting in line to receive oxygen cylinders from the leader's office. In the pictures, a banner can also be seen to have been put up of the AAP leader, and the Facebook post says, "To make oxygen reach those needing it, in Delhi, Cabinet Minister Imran Hussain 'Free Oxygen Distribution' from his office".
The court has issued notice on the matter, seeking response from the Minister by tomorrow. The court after hearing the petitioner, observed that after looking at the pictures it didn't seem that there was hoarding at the office.
The plea states that, "Mr. Imran Hussain who is a(n) MLA from Ballimaran and Cabinet Minister in Govt of Delhi is hoarding the oxygen cylinder at the time when the entire Delhi is in the crisis of the supply of the oxygen."
Responding to the plea, Sr. Adv. Rahul Mehra for the Delhi Government suggested that the petitioner was free to file a complaint against the political leader - be he from any party - in order for its veracity to be established.
