Disqualify 20 AAP MLAs for office of profit : EC

NEW DELHI, Jan 19:The Election Commission today recommended to President Ram Nath Kovind that 20 Aam Aadmi Party legislators should be disqualified for holding ‘office of profit’ as Parliamentary Secretaries, sources said. Once the recommendation is approved by the President, by-elections will have to be held for the 20 Assembly seats. Initially, the case was against 21 legislators, but after Rajouri Garden MLA Jarnail Singh resigned to contest against Parkash Singh Badal in the Punjab Assembly elections last year, the case now stands against 20 legislators. Party sources say that AAP will challenge the poll panel’s decision in the Supreme Court.
