GUWAHATI, Feb 22 - The Assam IAS Officers� Association has condemned the alleged assault on the Chief Secretary of Delhi by a couple of MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party.
�This is nothing but an attack on the Constitution of the country and an attempt by divisive elements trying to drive a wedge between various pillars of the Constitution. We stand by the Chief Secretary of National Capital Territory, Delhi, in this hour of crisis as one family and demand that the perpetrators of attack on the highest executive authority be brought to justice,� said a statement issued today by Dr M Angamuthu, Secretary of the Assam IAS Officers� Association.

Any imbalance in the functioning between the permanent and political executive will only be a threat to the integrity of the nation.�
