The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday suspended its Maur MLA Sukhveer Maiser Khana for alleged indiscipline and anti-party activities, hours after he publicly criticised the Bhagwant Mann-led government over the state of government schools.
AAP state general secretary announced his suspension from the party’s primary membership, citing indiscipline and anti-party activities. “I had apprised AAP Punjab in-charge Manish Sisodia and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann about the lack of teachers affecting students’ prospects.
No one showed interest in addressing the issue,” he said.
The party and state government did not respond to his allegations. The development coincided with AAP leader Navdeep Singh Jeeda opening his political office in Maur. Because of the shortage of teachers, maiser Khana, who said his children study in a government school, claimed they were facing difficulties.
He also alleged that he was being harassed by the party leadership and said he would not “beg” for an assembly ticket in the forthcoming elections.
