Former Chief Minister of Delhi Shiela Dikshit on Saturday lashed out at Aam Aadmi Party MLAs for demanding revocation of Bharat Ratna for Rajiv Gandhi, saying no state assembly has the right to pass any resolution in the matter as the award is conferred by the Government of India.

"This is not a right of any assembly. The Bharat Ratna, (the highest civilian award) and others are conferred by the Government of India. You (AAP MLAs) do not have a right to pass a resolution," the Congress leader told media.
