Re: [IAC#RG] Whither "rule of law" in AAP

Respected Sir / Shanti Bhushan ji

Although it is not proper for IAC to comment on AAP's internal
affairs, let me convey my personal dissatisfaction with the uncouth
manner in which allegations were made against you personally in the
recent events in your party.

A party which has no respect for the clear wording of its own
Constitution has no business being in power if it cannot adhere to its
own declared principles and procedures.

Although I shall not comment on Admiral Ramdas, I am certainly
concerned about the manner in which our Brahmic sister Ms.Ilina Sen
was also removed as party National Lokpal in some kind of coup.

As my complaint against Mr. Mayank Gandhi was made to Ms. Sen last
year and she is apparently not keeping well these days, I would have
expected that somebody with good sense in AAP would have suggested the
nationally and internationally famous name of her husband Dr. Binayak
Sen in her place and by an outgoing Lokpal's nomination. In any case
the terms of the initial AAP Lokpals could not have been less than 4
and 5 years respectively as they are eligible for reappointment at
their own request.

In these present circumstances of Land Acquisition Bill and tribal
rights, association of equanimous persons like Dr. Binayak Sen would
be very valuable to any new emergent formations in Aam Aadmi Party,
and lend it credibility and a new dimension in maturity.

It would not be out of place for me to say that association of so many
opportunistic "johnny come latelies" into Aam Aadmi Party after Team
Arvind's political ambitions were exposed on 2 August 2012 at Ram Lila
grounds, is the root cause of the present situation. Starting from
rootless wonders like Yogendra Yadav, Ashutosh etc. who attached
themselves to the andolan only to share future political spoils and
act as fixers and deal makers.

Sir, you and your son Prashant are uniquely placed to correct the Aam
Aadmi Party's course and align it to our andolan's original missions,
if you choose your allies carefully and proceed wisely.

Godspeed
