Factionalism to fore at AAP meet in Ropar

Ropar, June 10

Factionalism came to the fore in the district unit of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) when several party leaders along with their supporters staged a walkout during a meeting convened by party’s district observer Satvir Singh Walia here today. Both factions also raised slogans against each other. Jaito MLA Baldev Singh also attended the meeting.

As soon as the meeting started in the afternoon party, leaders, including district media incharge Ranjit Singh Patialan, Gurmail Singh Thali, Balwinder Saini, Kashmiri Lal Bajroor, Parminder Singh Shampuri and Badan Singh, started raising slogans against Walia and came out of the meeting. Few leaders even alleged that the mining mafia had intruded into the Ropar district unit of party.

Meanwhile, Deputy Superintendent of Police Tarlochan Singh along with the police force also reached the spot as a large number of people had gathered there despite Covid-19 restrictions. — TNS
