Early reports say that around 30 to 40 people have attacked the AAP office in Kaushambi, Ghaziabad. The attack was believed to be a protest against AAP member Prashant Bhushan's statement on Kashmir. Nobody is believed to have been injured in the incident.

On January 6 Bhushan had said that in keeping with participatory democracy, locals in the Kashmir Valley should be allowed to determine whether they want the army for internal security or not. He had said the government should decide if the army should deal with external threats along the border. Bhushan had also said earlier that he wanted a referendum on Kashmir.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal had already distanced himself from Bhushan's comments and said that it was his personal view. He had said that whatever the army wants to do regarding deployment, there is no question of a referendum on it.
