New Delhi, Mar 23: Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken on Friday said that he would fight out in the
Election Commission (EC) again against the 20 AAP MLAs as they have enjoyed
perks.
Mr Maken’s reaction came after the Delhi High Court (HC)
passed an order for the restoration of membership of the legislature of 20 Aam
Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs disqualified by EC.
“We will fight it out in the EC again as these 20 MLAs have enjoyed perks. HC has not disputed or denied this. The HC has just asked ECI to look at it again in the light of natural justice,” the senior Congress leader tweeted.
On January 21, 20 MLAs of the party were disqualified in the office-of-profit case after President Ram Nath Kovind approved the EC’s recommendation in this regard.
The poll panel had contended that the MLAs had occupied the post of Parliamentary Secretaries between March 13, 2015 and September 8, 2016 so were holding the office of profit and were liable to be disqualified as legislators.
The EC will now re-hear the office of profit case. UNI
