The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is set to write to the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha seeking the disqualification of its MPs who recently defected from the party. The move comes amid escalating political tensions, with the party alleging violation of anti-defection laws.

According to party sources, AAP plans to formally petition the Rajya Sabha Chairman, who also serves as the Vice President of India, urging action under provisions of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution. The party contends that the MPs’ decision to switch allegiance constitutes a clear breach of party discipline and electoral mandate.

While the identities of the defected MPs have not been officially detailed in the communication yet, AAP leaders have maintained that the matter involves serious ethical and legal concerns. The party is expected to submit supporting documents and evidence to strengthen its case for disqualification.

The development is likely to trigger a procedural review by the Chairman’s office, which will examine the petition before deciding on the admissibility and subsequent course of action. Such cases typically involve scrutiny of whether the lawmakers voluntarily gave up party membership or defied party directives.

The issue highlights the recurring challenges surrounding political defections in India, where parties frequently invoke anti-defection provisions to safeguard legislative stability. The final decision will rest with the Rajya Sabha Chairman after due consideration of legal and constitutional aspects.
