:dateline:Renowned Sikh lawyer Advocate Harvinder Singh Phoolka today resigned from the Aam Admi Party for undisclosed reasons. Notably, Phoolka had joined AAP?in January 2014 and had unsuccessfully contested the last parliamentary elections from Ludhiana.
However, he had registered a victory from the Dakha constituency in the Punjab assembly polls held in February-2017 and was appointed as a Leader of Opposition in the Punjab assembly. In July-2017, he had quitted from this post to contest cases of 1984 Sikh genocide victims.
Last year, he had also quitted from the Punjab assembly in protest of an inordinate delay by the Congress led Punjab government in taking action against the sacrilege culprits. �
�I have resigned from AAP & handed over resignation to Kejriwal ji today. Though he asked me not to resign but I insisted. Will be briefing media tomorrow at 4pm at Press Club, Raisina Rd, New Delhi to explain the Reason of leaving AAP & my further plans� wrote HS Phoolka from his Facebook wall.
Phoolka has led the legal fight for justice for the victims of 1984 Sikh genocide victims, taking up cases against several Congress leaders accused of involvement despite the government cover-up.
