New Delhi: In the ongoing controversy over the removal of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Alka Lamba as the party’s spokesperson for two months, the legislator said on Thrusday that she is ready to apologize if she committed any “mistake”.
"I am a disciplined worker of party and respect its every decision. If I have done any mistake unknowingly, then I am ready to repent for it so that my party will not face any trouble in its fight against corruption," Lamba tweeted.
Sources said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has suspended Lamba, who represents Chandni Chowk in the Delhi assembly, from the post of party spokesperson for two months for "stepping out of party line".
The decision came two days after Lamba deviated from the party line and told reporters that Delhi's Transport Minister Gopal Rai had been "relieved" of the portfolio to make way for a fair probe into the Premium Bus Service scheme.

The party line had been that Gopal Rai was relieved of the transport portfolio for "health reasons".
Lamba's comment, on the other hand, suggested that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had asked Gopal Rai to step down to ensure a fair investigation into the alleged corruption in the Premium Bus Service scheme.
