Contrary to party leader Sanjay Singh's denial that bouncers were present at the meeting and there was no assault on Yadav supporters, Sehrawat said there was indeed an "unpleasent situation" in the meeting.
"I was one of the eight people who did not support the resolution. I thought this was against the natural justice. They had already been sacked from the Political Affairs Committe (PAC) and they should not have been punished twice for the same crime.
The Yadav and Bhushan camp has alleged that volunteers supporting them were manhandled. This was categorically denied by party leader Sanjay Singh.
"There was indeed an unpleasent situation and one member was manhandled. I stopped them and told the people to behave themselves," Sehrawat said.
He added that the handling of the National Council meeting could have been better.
AAP's Timarpur MLA Pankaj Pushkar and Patiala MP Dharamvira Gandhi also opposed the resolution to oust Yadav and Bhushan.
