New Delhi, June 18: Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was also taken to hospital on Monday, a day after Minister Satyendar Jain was admitted following their hunger strike at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's office. Sisodia was taken to the LNGP hospital after his ketone level reached 7.4. AAP ministers have been on an indefinite hunger strike for the past six days at LG's residence against the alleged strike by the IAS officers of Delhi government.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal continues to sit on a dharna at Baijal's office demanding him to tell IAS officers to end their alleged strike.  This comes even as the Delhi High Court on Monday came down heavily on Kejriwal for his dharna at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's office that entered its seventh day today. The court told the Delhi government that they can't just go into someone's house or office and hold a strike. "This can’t be called a strike. You can’t go inside someone’s office or house and hold a strike there," the court said.

The court also asked the lawyer representing the Kejriwal government as to who authorised the protest. "Thing is that you’re sitting on a dharna. Who authorized them to sit on a dharna like this," the court asked.

Meanwhile, the Delhi government lawyer said that the dharna was an "individual decision" and that the IAS officers on Sunday admitted they are not attending meetings called by ministers. The case has now been adjourned till June 22.

The hearing came as BJP MLA Vijender Gupta approached the Delhi High Court seeking an order to CM Arvind Kejriwal to end his strike.
