Amanatullah Khan
The Aam Aadmi Party yesterday suspended its Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan, who had accused senior party leader Kumar Vishwas of being an "RSS-BJP agent" and plotting a coup in the party.
The move is seen as a compromise after Vishwas had threatened to quit the party.
The AAP has also set up a disciplinary committee to look into Khan's statements.
In the party's Political Affairs Committee meeting which lasted for three hours at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence, a decision was made to give greater responsibility to Vishwas. "He (Vishwas) will be Rajasthan's party in-charge as the state goes to polls next year," said Deputy Chief Manish Sisodia.
