New Delhi: In his first major reaction, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chaddha On Friday, he shared a video message addressed to the “common man”, a day after the party proposed removing him from the post of its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. “I am silent, not defeated,” Chadha said in a post on X. He further said, “I have become silent, not defeated” and “My message to the common man.” “Is it a crime to raise public issues? Have I committed any mistake? Have I done anything wrong? Whenever I speak, I only talk about the problems of common people. Why would anyone stop me from speaking and raising issues of public interest,” he said in the video.He appealed to the general public to “stand with me as you always have.” However, in an indirect warning he said, “Don’t mistake my silence for surrender. I am a calm river now, but I know how to rise in flood.” The video message comes hours after Chadha posted a montage on social media on Thursday highlighting the issues he raised as the party’s deputy leader in the House.The montage cites concerns such as the tax burden on the middle class, the problem of data expiration, paternity leave as a right in India and excess baggage charges at airports. Earlier on Thursday, the Aam Aadmi Party wrote to the Rajya Sabha Secretariat demanding Chadha’s removal from the post and proposed Punjab MP Ashok Mittal as his replacement. According to sources, the letter said that Chadha, Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, should not be allotted time to speak in the House from the party’s quota.
