Expelled Aam Aadmi Party members Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav have been detained by Delhi Police for leading a march to the state assembly.


The duo were leading the volunteers of Swaraj Abhiyan, rebel group floated by ex-members of AAP. Yadav and Bhushan were protesting against the Jan Lokpal bill which is scheduled to be tabled in the legislative assembly today.


Both, Bhushan and Yadav were dismissed from the party earlier in the year for raising their voice against the autocratic style of leadership of Kejriwal. According to Bhushan, the bill prepared by the AAP government is altered and drastically different than the one proposed during the 49-day tenure of erstwhile Kejriwal government.


Prashant Bhushan has accused Kejriwal of diluting the purpose of Lokpal by ensuring that the ombudsman elected would be a political appointee. The 4-member committee which will select the Lokpal will comprise the Delhi Chief Minister, Leader of Opposition, Speaker of Assembly, apart from a High Court judge. On the contrary, the previous bill suggested a five-member committee, out of which only 2 members would be political personalities.
