AAP National Executive member Rakesh Sinha suspended

New Delhi, Apr 2(IBNS) The Aam Aadmi Party has suspended its national executive member Rakesh Sinha over the removal of .Admiral Ramdas and Prashant Bhushan respectively as the party's ombudsman and chief of disciplinary committee.

Reports said the decision to suspend Mr Sinha was taken in the National Executive meeting held on Sunday.

The senior leader from Uttar Pradesh  had accused the AAP leadership for the removal of   Ramdas and Bhushan  without due consultations of all members of the National Executive.

In a letter to the party secretary Pankaj Gupta on March 30,Sinha had questioned the decision.

"I would like to bring to your notice that I came to know about this meeting through some journalists who called to ask me if I was attending the NE meeting," he had said.

"I was surprised and thought that it must be a PAC meeting since I got no intimation and I had received an SMS from your office on March 18 that there will be no meeting before or after the NC meet."

"Your SMS saying that it was an emergency meeting is well taken but it still does not explain why I was not informed," Sinha had said in the letter.

 
Sinha was one of the National Executive members who had opposed the removal of Yogendra Yadav and  Bhushan from the party's Political Affairs Committee. He had also walked out of the March 28 National Council meeting when the two  leaders were axed.
