New Delhi, January 3
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has shelved its programme to ‘gherao’ Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar’s residence in Chandigarh, scheduled on January 9, in view of the rising Covid-19 cases.
“A fresh date for the programme will be fixed keeping in view the onset of Omicron, new Covid-19 variant,” said AAP Rajya Sabha MP and in-charge Haryana affairs Sushil Gupta here on Monday. The agitation was planned to protest against the alleged rise of prices of commodities and unemployment, said Gupta.
The decision to postpone the agitation was taken today during a virtual meeting of Gupta with senior party leaders from the state. Gupta said, “The AAP will remain focused on Haryana. The party is increasing its support base across the state.”
