NEW DELHI: Senior AAP legislators today demanded the expulsion of Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan from the party, vowing to not relent till the axe falls on him.
According to reports few MLAs of the party have signed a letter, urging the top leadership of the party to expel him. A separate letter, with the same demand, has also been released by a Punjab MLA of the party.
Delhi ministers Kapil Mishra, Imran Hussain, Dwarka MLA Adarsh Shastri are among the signatories to the letter, a party source said.
“Amanatullah has lost his mental balance,” Hussain tweeted.
The party’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC), chaired by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, is expected to take a call on the issue tonight. Incidentally, Khan is a member of the PAC.
When contacted, Khan said the whole campaign was “scripted” and added that he will attend the scheduled meeting. He said barely “four to five MLAs” supported the signature campaign against him.
