Pb AAP MLAs called for meeting with Kejriwal in Delhi

The AAP's central leadership has called the party's Punjab leaders, including MLAs, for a meeting with its national convener Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi tomorrow, after a majority of its MLAs in the state yesterday discussed the option of splitting and forming a separate unit.

Kejriwal's apology to SAD leader and former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia for accusing him of being involved in drugs trade pushed AAP's state unit into a crisis as its Punjab unit president Bhagwant Mann and co-president Aman Arora resigned from their posts yesterday.

The state leadership had said the "meek surrender" was painful and very unfortunate.

In a further jolt, the Lok Insaf Party (LIP), AAP's ally in the state, announced to break its alliance with the party in the wake of Kejriwal's apology.

Senior leader and AAP MLA Kanwar Sandhu today said, "We have got a message and call from Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia for a meeting tomorrow in Delhi. We were told that Arvind ji will also be in the meeting."
About whether he supported the move of breaking away and form separate unit, Arora said, "Until and unless, I hear from Kejriwal what made him to take such a decision, I do not want to say anything or make assumptions."
