PANAJI
A day after Aam Aadmi Party Goa's leadership was detained by the Goa police for demanding Chief Minister Pramod Sawant's resignation following former Goa Governor Satya Pal Malik's corruption charges against the State government, AAP's youth wing took out another protest in the capital city on Wednesday. AAP's youth leaders, many of whom were detained on Tuesday, took a stand outside the Panaji KTC bus stand.
In a press release, AAP stated that the volunteers of the youth wing continued the party's demand that Sawant resign and a judicial inquiry be initiated on the allegations of corruption that cost a lot of lives. Former Governor of Goa Satya Pal Malik stated categorically that there was corruption in the State government in any and everything.
AAP on Tuesday had taken out a massive protest with 800 volunteers. The government met this with a strong police presence and several AAP leaders were manhandled by the police. The Youth wing condemned the heavy-handed approach and illegal detention of AAP leaders and volunteers till the wee hours of Wednesday, the release added.
AAP Taleigao Assembly in-charge and Vice President of AAP National Young Wing Cecille Rodrigues stated that they have the full support of the residents.
"Today we the youth have come out to show BJP that we are not scared! We have come out to show them that they can't intimidate our leaders and our volunteers. AAP will not stop till Sawant resigns!" said Hanzel Fernandes AAP General Secretary (Youth).
