The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday, 5 July organised protest rallies at multiple locations in New Delhi and burnt effigies of the Central government's ordinance on control of services in the national capital. "From 6 July to 13 July, effigies and copies of the black ordinance will be burnt at various locations across Delhi," the party said.
The AAP said that the significant turnout of Delhi residents for the protest rallies clearly conveyed their demand for the withdrawal of the ordinance that "infringes upon the constitutional rights of the elected government".
The public firmly believes that the 'black' ordinance undermines the best interests of Delhi, AAP said.

The AAP also alleged that the ordinance effectively stripped the elected government of Delhi of its rightful powers.
The party would take the struggle to the streets to challenge the 'black' ordinance imposed by the Central government, it said.
