New Delhi: On the sixth day of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's sit-in, an impasse between the Aam Aadmi Party and Lt Governor Anil Baijal over the IAS officers' "strike" continued. Mr Kejriwal, along with his colleagues, Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, health minister Satyendar Jain and development minister Gopal Rai stayed put at the Lt Governor's office. Mr Jain and Mr Sisodia started a hunger strike on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
The Registered Medical Practitioners Federation has extended support to Mr Kejriwal. The federation has 12,500 members.
In a tweet, Mr Kejriwal also alleged a "de facto President's rule in Delhi" as a result of the "strike".
AAP government's environment minister Imran Hussain alleged that the environment secretary did not attend a meeting on pollution. In a tweet from the Aam Aadmi Party's official Twitter handle, AAP leader Atishi Marlena alleged in a tweet that those civil servants who didn't attend meetings pertaining to health-related matters, met BJP leaders to ask them whether they needed mattress-sheets.
However, the IAS officers' association has maintained that no officer is on "strike".
"How do we work like this? Can Modiji try working like this even for a day? Can our critics kindly tell us how do we function like this? (sic)," Mr Kejriwal tweeted.
Rebel BJP leader and actor Shatrughan Sinha tweeted his support to Mr Kejriwal in a series of tweets, calling him a "gentleman politician", saying that his dharna "says it all". He also alleged that full statehood to Delhi had been a "very strong" demand of the BJP.
In one of the tweets, Mr Sinha referred to 'Roti' an old film by filmmaker Manmohan Desai, to say that the "public knows everything".
Mr Kejriwal tweeted Eid greetings early morning today. "Good morning Delhi. Apko aur apke pariwar ko Eid mubarak (Eid mubarak to you and your family)," he said in the tweet.
Mr Sisodia said on Friday that they would stop drinking water if they were forcibly removed from the Lt Governor's residence.
According to news agency Press Trust of India, the Lt Governor has created three teams of doctors to examine the health of the ministers. The Lt Governor has been working from his residence since Mr Kejriwal launched his protest.
Meanwhile, another plea in the high court on Thursday sought to declare the AAP leaders' protest as unconstitutional and illegal.
This plea is listed for a hearing on June 18.
