Disqualification of 20 MLAs unfortunate and sad : Vishwas
Disqualification of 20 MLAs unfortunate and sad : Vishwas : Kumar Vishwas, Aam Aadmi Party leader,termed the disqualification of 20 of its MLAs for holding the office of profit as 'unfortunate' and 'sad'. Kumar said that It was very unfortunate and sad that the Election Commission has recommended 20 Aam Aadmi Party MLAs be disqualified from the Delhi Assembly for holding offices of profit. "I had given Aam Aadmi leader certain suggestions earlier but I was told it was the CM's privilege to appoint people so I kept quiet" , he said .
Vishwas said that he had also been removed from various WhatsApp groups of the party. On the other hand, petitioner Prashant Patel in the Aam Aadmi Party MLAs' office of profit case has expressed satisfaction over the ECI's recommendations.
The ECI had sent recommendations to the President Ram Nath Kovind that the 20 MLAs be disqualified. In cases, where petitions are made seeking the disqualification of lawmakers, the President sends a reference to the ECI which decides on the case by sending back its opinion.If the president agrees, the disqualification of the legislators would pave the way for bye-elections in Delhi.
