New Delhi, January 3
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has postponed its protest against the rising prices of essential commodities and unemployment.
The party had planned to “gherao” Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar residence in Chandigarh on January 9, but it had been postponed because of rising Covid cases, AAP Rajya Sabha MP and in-charge of Haryana affairs Sushil Gupta said here on Monday. “A fresh date for the protest will be announced soon keeping in view the Covid situation,” Gupta added.
The decision to postpone the agitation was taken today during a virtual meeting of Gupta with senior party leaders from the State.
Gupta said that AAP’s focus is on Haryana as it has been engaged in increasing its support base across the state. He said the party will contest all local elections in the state to be held before the next Lok Sabha and Assembly polls.
