New Delhi, April 18
AAP leader and vice-chairperson of the Delhi Dialogue Commission (DDC) Ashish Khetan has resigned from the post, saying that he now wants to practise law.
Khetan, who was appointed to the post in the advisory body headed by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, announced the decision on Twitter.
“I have resigned as VC, DDC, with effect from April 16. During the past three years I had a unique opportunity to shape public policy & bring about reform and change in governance. I am grateful to Arvind Kejriwal, the Hon’ble CM, for giving me this wonderful opportunity,” Khetan tweeted.
“I am joining the legal profession and enrolling with the Bar at Delhi, which actually necessitated my resignation from the DDC. Bar Council Rules prohibit practising advocates from any kind of private or government employment,” he added.
In his new profession, besides pursuing routine cases, Khetan would take up legal causes in the larger public interest. – TNS
