Rajiv Gandhi Bharat Ratna Row: “Not Resigning,” Says Alka Lamba

The matter became a major crisis with Alka Lamba alleging she was “put under pressure” to support the resolution.

A little while after reports came out of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Alka Lamba saying that she will tender her resignation on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s demand, Lamba has put out a statement saying, “I am not resigning.”

Tweeting her appreciation for AAP not passing the resolution to withdraw Rajiv Gandhi’s Bharat Ratna, Alka Lamba said:

“I am very happy to share that the party (AAP) has been in favour of Sri Rajiv Gandhi retaining the Bharat Ratna that was given to him by this country. The incomparable sacrifices that Sri Rajiv Gandhi made for this country can never be forgotten. I am removing the copy of the proposal, that was never even passed in the Vidhan Sabha.”
