Referendum on statehood for Delhi

JULY 8, 2015/NEWDELHISAMACHARA/EDIT
Aam Aadmi Party is firm on its stand to gain full statehood for Delhi and it will not shy away from seeking the opinion of the people by way of referendum. The party is also not surprised by the fact that both Congress and BJP have decided to stray away from its traditional demand for Delhi statehood in line with its true nature of not being honest with the people of the state.
“Referendum on statehood for Delhi would be a reaffirmation of the demand of the people to seek their demand which has been long pending. Congress and BJP have joined hands to term it as unconstitutional whereas they have been in the forefront on this demand and now they have decided to betray the people of Delhi,” party state convener Dilip Pandey said in a press conference today.
We hope that the demand for statehood to Delhi was a pro-people issue for consideration of the central government and we hope that the prime minister will accept it, he added.
“The present discussion on full statehood for the national capital was not just an AAP initiative but has been raised by the BJP and Congress since 1993, but since people rejected them outrightly, these parties have decided to be against the will of the people,” MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj said who is also the state incharge.
The Aam Aadmi is resolved to provide full statehood to the people of Delhi and it will leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
