AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan resigns from PAC

Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan has resigned from the party's Political Affairs Committee (PAC). His resignation comes after several AAP legislators demanded his sacking over allegations made by him against Kumar Vishwas. <br/><br/>After a PAC meeting in New Delhi yesterday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the party leadership is upset with both Amanatullah Khan as well Kumar Vishwas for airing their differences in public. He said the PAC has accepted Khan's resignation and also discussed Vishwas' absence from the meeting. <br/> <br/>Amanatullah Khan, however, said he stood with his remarks against Vishwas. On Monday he accused Aam Aadmi Party leader Vishwas of plotting a coup in the party by calling MLAs to his residence and coaxing them to rebel against Kejriwal or to join the BJP. Earlier, Vishwas had differed with Kejriwal on the issue of electronic voting machines (EVMs). He had refused to attribute the AAP's recent poll upsets to alleged manipulation of EVMs and had instead stressed on the need for introspection.<br/><br/>
