AAP forms special cell for Sikhs

In an effort to reach out to the Sikhs in the national capital, Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has formed a cell to raise the issues and concerns of the community.

The party’s cell would be led by Parminder Singh Veerji who was elected as the unit’s president by around 500 members.

Constituting a five-member body, Jaswant Singh Arora was elected as the convener, Pritpal Singh Saluja as senior vice-president, Davinder Singh Sahni as vice-president and Balwinder Singh Renu as the general secretary.

Kejriwal said the community has played a very important role in the development of the country.

‘Unfortunately remembering 1984 riots, the community has been till now treated as vote banks with none of the members who lost their family in the riots getting justice,’ he said.

The five-member body was elected at an event organised at Constitution Club.
