Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia claimed that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) govt led by Arvind Kejriwal gave permanent jobs to Kashmiri Pandits without even proper documents.
Kashmiri Migrant Teachers association has condemned the statement given by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal that it was Delhi Government that regularised their services. The teachers’ body claimed that the Delhi government tried to hamper their service regularisation.
The teachers association sharing a timeline of Delhi High Court hearings has stated that the Kejriwal government was never interested in regularising the services. The statement reads: “The above events clearly indicate that the Delhi government was never interested in regularising the services of Kashmiri Pandit teachers. In fact, the Delhi government opposed the regularisation till the very end."
Earlier this week, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia claimed that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is a party that is actually concerned about Kashmiri Pandits, Sisodia said that Kejriwal gave permanent jobs to Kashmiri Pandits without even proper documents.

The same judgement was challenged in the Double Bench of the High Court by the Delhi Government denying the regularisation of KMT.
Later, on May 21, 2018, Double Bench in its verdict, directed the Delhi Government to regularise the services of KMT.
