Ruckus outside AAP National Council meeting

Published

New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) Supporters of AAP leader Kumar Vishwas and AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan raised slogans and counter-slogans outside the National Council meeting of the Aam Aadmi Party here on Thursday evening.

The commotion erupted after the meeting got over.

Earlier this week, the AAP revoked the suspension of Khan, who had faced disciplinary action in May after he called Kumar Vishwas, a founder-member of the party and its Rajasthan in-charge, a “BJP agent”.

As both leaders came out of the meeting and walked towards their cars, their supporters raised slogans against one another.

Asked whether he expressed his displeasure at the meeting over the revoking of Khan’s suspension, Kumar Vishwas said as he was not listed as a “speaker in the party agenda” and so he did not speak.

He, however, added that he did speak about Rajasthan.

A party source told IANS that Kumar Vishwas spoke twice at the meeting but on Khan.

Unlike in the past, Kumar Vishwas was not a listed speaker in the annual meeting attended by more than 300 party leaders from across the country.

He was also not seated on the dias with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other senior leaders and sat amongst the delegates.

Earlier, Kumar Vishwas had said that Khan represented those who wanted to destroy the AAP.

In May, Kumar Vishwas was named the AAP in-charge of Rajasthan, where elections are due next year. The same day, Khan was suspended from the party.

The decisions came days after Khan alleged that Kumar Vishwas was conspiring to break the AAP and plotting a coup against Kejriwal at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards.
