New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) National Council on Saturday sacked senior leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the National Executive.
"It's a murder of democracy. They held a sham meeting and used muscle power to get their way. Some of the MLAs behaved like goons,"Prashant Bhushan told reporters after the National Council meeting.
As per details available, Gopal Rai chaired AAP National Council meet. 23 votes were in favour of Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, over 200 voted against during the voting on resolution.
Yogendra Yadav alleged that the violence was preplanned and that some of the MLAs were manhandled. “Only shouting took place, scuffle took place, bogus voting happened, and nothing else happened. It is a mockery of everything”, Yadav told to the media.  “Some of us were even prevented from coming out, this is what is happening here. I am ashamed, I apologize to all volunteers and supporters”, Yadav further added. 
 “What Arvind had said in the sting that we should be kicked out, today we have literally been kicked out... Goons had been called at the meeting, they were beating up our supporters”, said senior party leader Prashant Bhushan. “There was no neutral factor, Lokpal was absent, our voices were suppressed, we didn't get a chance to answer”, Bhushan further added. 
 Another AAP member Ramzan Chaudhury was allegedly beaten us by the bouncers, “All I said was that everybody should be heard, bouncers dragged me out, beat me up, and kicked me”.
