Bhushan Accuses AAP Leader of Writing ‘Paid News’ for Essar

Responding to the show cause notice, Bhushan has made fresh accusations against AAP’s Ashish Khetan and Pankaj Gupta.

AAP dissident leader Prashant Bhushan has hit back at the party leadership over the show-cause notice he received. He has accused AAP leader Pankaj Gupta of accepting donations from dubious companies without PAC approval. He also said party leader Ashish Khetan wrote a “paid news” story, favouring a company.

The party’s National Disciplinary Committee (NDC), headed by Dinesh Waghela with Khetan and Gupta as its members, had charged Bhushan with anti-party activities by asking people not to make donations to the party. Bhushan also accused Gupta of not implementing several decisions of the NDC.
