AAP's opinion different from Madhu Bhaduri's, says Ashutosh

Commenting on miffed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) founder member Madhu Bhaduri, AAP leader Ashutosh on Sunday said that there is a difference in opinion between her and the party.

"Bhaduri had raised some questions. But there is a difference in her opinion and the party's. She has been given a chance in the National Council meet. The party addressed her questions," said Ashutosh.

"Afterwards she was the only member who was called on the stage to place her views forward. She also tried to place her views but it is not necessary that the party's line and member's line are the same," he added.

He said the AAP will talk to her and will try to pacify her as she is a member of the party.

"She was a founder member of the party but it is wrong to say that the party organization does not respect women. We all respect women very much and they are a very important part of the organization. I think, she should have waited for a while before hurrying into taking a decision," he added.

Earlier today, Bhaduri had said that humanity does not exist in the AAP and it is heading towards a dangerous direction.

Claiming that the AAP is on 'dangerous path', Bhaduri had said, "The direction in which the party is heading, we will not go there. A party which kicks out humanity, then why would we work for it? And now, what is the difference between them and other parties?"

Miffed with the working of the party, Bhaduri has reportedly decided to step down from the committees on gender justice, foreign policy and national security.

"I am not displeased but disappointed with the party. I have worked in the party ever since it was formerd," she had claimed.
