New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP)'s national executive today discussed a range of issues including strengthening the organisation across the country, preparing the list of "active volunteers" and to address the shortage of funds, but no decision was taken on the fate of party legislator Somnath Bharti, who is on run in a domestic violence case.
The national executive is the second highest decision making body of the party.
Emphasis was given on building the organisation in other states, and preparing a list of volunteers. Discussion also took place on the re-constituting the national council, which is about to complete the stipulated three years, and the list is to be updated in coming days.
"Stress was given on replicating the Delhi model, where we have a strong organisation right upto the booth level, in other states. A list of active volunteers will also be prepared," said an AAP leader.
However, no decision was taken on Bharti's fate, but it the issue was discussed in the meeting. The party's top brass is known to be upset with the former law minister for not surrendering before the police in a case related to domestic violence by wife Lipika Misra. Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had also called him an "embarrassment" to the party.
"Yesterday, party chief (Kejriwal) spelled out his stand on the issue. The party holds the same stand that he should surrender and cooperate with the police," said senior party leader and Political Affairs Committee (PAC) member Sanjay Singh.
AAP also took a view of the functioning of the Central government. Mr Singh said, "Discussion was also held on the RSS-BJP meeting few days back, which was attended by the Home Minister and other ministers. This pollutes the religious atmosphere in the country. We expressed serious concern over it and have decided to chalk out a strategy on how to tackle this."
Slamming the BJP, at the backdrop of the report on Muzaffarnagar issue, Mr Singh added that the party will also run a campaign against the BJP and the RSS to "unmask" the two.
