Shiv Sena questions disqualification of 20 AAP MLAs, Slams Kovind

The Shiv Sena on Monday raised questions over "the haste" with which 20 legislators of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi were disqualified for holding 'office of profit'.

"This is an unprecedented incident in which so many elected legislators have been disqualified in a wholesale manner. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is facing a crisis, and that is because of the public campaign against corruption and injustice," the Shiv Sena said.

Even President Ram Nath Kovind took cognizance and stamped his approval to the Election Commission of India (ECI)'s recommendations, the Sena said.
