Aam Admi Party MPs to boycott of President Murmu’s address to Parliament

New Delhi: After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was sent to three days’ CBI remand by the Rouse Avenue Court in the Delhi excise policy case, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced that its MPs would boycott President Droupadi Murmu‘s address to the joint sitting of Parliament on Thursday.

This will be the first presidential address after the formation of the third National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.

Following the President’s address, a Motion of Thanks will be moved in both Houses of Parliament, which will be discussed by the members.

AAP leader Sandeep Pathak said the President and the Constitution are supreme and when dictatorship



is done in the name of justice, it is important to raise voices.

“Today (Thursday), we will protest in the Rajya Sabha against the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and we will boycott the President’s address. The President and the Constitution are supreme and when dictatorship is done in the name of justice, it is important to raise our voices,” he said.

When asked whether other parties of the I.N.D.I.A bloc will also protest in Rajya Sabha, Pathak said, “We did not have a discussion with the remaining parties of the I.N.D.I.A alliance regarding this but our party will boycott the President’s address”.
