Reports had gone rife on Friday claiming that Jung had asked Sisodia to return from Finland in view of the crisis situation in Delhi, especially as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was away in Bengaluru receiving treatment for his persistent cough. Kejriwal is now in Bengaluru where he underwent throat surgery.

“It’s a matter of deep shock and anguish that when Delhi is suffering and reeling under Chikungunya and Dengue, we see the insensitive remarks of the Aam Admi Party ministers”. Delhi government today made a decision to place chikungunya under the list of unsafe diseases. “To fix the problems of Delhi’s education system, I’ll do whatever is needed”.

Referring by name to a television anchor, Sisodia demanded to know why the journalist and “his political bosses (are) spreading conspiracy against my efforts to improve education (system) in Delhi?”

Sisodia responded on Twitter, saying, “Learning from across the world is not a sin”. It’s a sin to defame an educational tour as a “holiday”.

“The lt governor’s office is keeping a close watch on the health situation in Delhi and is getting regular updates on the situation from the chief secretary and secretary (health)”, the LG office said.
