Centre trying to disrupt AAP’s Aug 1 town hall against E20 fuel

New Delhi: AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday alleged that the Centre was trying to disrupt the party’s August 1 ‘National Town Hall Against E20’ by using police to pressure the Constitution Club to cancel the event. The Constitution Club, however, declined to cancel, saying that the payment had already been made, the former Delhi chief minister claimed in a post on X.

There was no immediate response from Delhi Police to Kejriwal’s allegations. Kejriwal on Monday announced his party’s plan to hold the ‘National Town Hall Against E20’ on August 1 and urged people to join in large numbers to “discuss how to create pressure on the central government to withdraw the E20 petrol”.
