The AAP, whose Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is staging a street protest, Tuesday said it has no intention of disrupting the official Republic Day celebrations.
Kejriwal, his ministers and a large number of Aam Aadmi Party supporters are massed near the Rail Bhavan, not far from the Rajpath boulevard where the annual Republic Day parade takes place.
