Reacting to a statement by the Aam Aadmi Party that accused Yogendra Yadav for anti-party activities, he said, "I want to thank my colleagues that they made their views public in a statement."

"I welcome the statement by 4 colleagues. Begins the possibility of open, transparent dialogue. Truth shall prevail," he said. "Hope this statement ends all slander, planting of allegations. I appeal to my colleagues that they stop forcing Delhi MLAs to endorse statements against us."

The AAP statement accused Yadav of planting stories against Arvind Kejriwal in the media.

The decision to remove Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav from the PAC was taken on March 4 by the AAP's national executive.
