The top leadership of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) met with National Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar in Mumbai on Thursday to seek his party’s support against the Central ordinance on the control of services in Delhi.
AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, party MP Raghav Chadha and Delhi minister Atishi were among the leaders who met with Pawar at the Yashwantrao Chavan Centre in the city.
“Democracy is under attack from the BJP. We must all unitedly safeguard it. Efforts are being made to deprive the rights of governments elected by the people and create hurdles for them. We shall fully support the AAP’s fight in parliament,” declared Pawar after his half-hour meeting with Kejriwal-Mann and other leaders.
Pawar said that this is no longer restricted to Delhi or any individual party, but a national problem concerning every state, especially the non-BJP states and he would speak with all non-BJP parties to join and unitedly fight this movement to protect democracy with the AAP.
Kejriwal said that great injustice was being done by the BJP to the people of Delhi even after the 8-year long legal battle in the Supreme Court and now the Centre has brought the Ordinance to usurp the state’s rights on appointments of officials.
