New Delhi:
Under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi cabinet on Friday decided to provide a government job to Ankur Sharma who is the brother of late IB employee Ankit Sharma. Ankit Sharma lost his life during the Delhi riots. The Delhi cabinet today has approved this proposal and now the Delhi government will send this proposal to the lieutenant governor of Delhi for final approval.
“Earlier the BJP ruled central government promised to provide a government job to a member of late Ankit Sharma‘s family but eventually denied any such job. The Bharatiya Janata Party made Delhi riots a very big issue but in the end, backtracked during the time of providing help. Now the Kejriwal government will be providing a government job to late Shri Ankit Sharma‘s brother Ankur Sharma and the Delhi cabinet has already passed the proposal. Earlier while meeting the family of Ankit Sharma, CM promised a government job to one of the family members,” said a statement issued by the Delhi government.
It is noteworthy that there was a violent riot in Delhi in March last year. Meanwhile, in the Bhajanpura area, IB employee Ankit Sharma was surrounded by a mob and murdered. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal expressed his grief over the killing of Ankit Sharma and met his family. Delhi CM also provided the family financial assistance of Rs 1 crore. During this meeting CM Kejriwal had also promised to give government job to a family member of Sharma.
