SSP Dharmendra Singh said, “We have identified some people. There were some residents of Ghaziabad and the numbers of their cars have been noted. Action against them will be initiated soon.” He said there was no security at the party office but policemen have now been deployed there and at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence which is just a kilometre away.
He said they will again take up the issue of security with Kejriwal and try to convince him about that.Earlier, Kejriwal had turned down the security offered to him by Ghaziabad and Delhi Police. Bhushan had recently said a referendum should be carried out in Kashmir to decide on deployment of the army to deal with security threats in the Valley. However, the Aam Aadmi Party had distanced itself from his views. (PTI)
