Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri said today he "adopts a cautious approach" while holding "mediation" meetings with the Delhi government over contentious issues.
The Union urban development minister made the remarks while referring to the alleged attack on Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash by AAP MLAs.
The Delhi government and the housing and urban affairs ministry have been at loggerheads over various issues, including the Delhi Metro fare hike, the ongoing sealing issue and the phase IV project of the metro.

Puri said ironing out the differences with the Delhi government was a challenge.
"There has not been much success because there have been instances in between... Let the temperature come down. When I become hopeful then something else happens... like the treatment (meted out) to the chief secretary. What do I do?" he asked.
"If this is the attitude, then I have to be very careful. If I call a mediation meeting and some thing happens, then what do I do? There is no security in my room. I adopt a cautious approach," he told reporters here.
