New Delhi: Cracking the whip on dissidents within, AAP today suspended its MLA Devinder Sehrawat from the primary membership after he accused partymen in Punjab of “exploiting women” in return for tickets. “Bijaswan MLA Devinder Sehrawat is suspended from the party,” an AAP source said.
The action comes after the party's national Convener Arvind Kejriwal returned to Delhi wrapping up his four-day visit to poll-bound Punjab. The decision to suspend the MLA was taken by the disciplinary committee of the party's Delhi unit. Last week, Sehrawat had written to Kejriwal over alleged exploitation of women by a few partymen in Punjab.
In the letter, Sherawat had also criticised party leader Ashutosh who had sought to defend Sandeep Kumar, sacked as a Delhi minister over an “objectionable” CD, and alleged that a “coterie” was damaging AAP.
