AAP to hold protest march demanding resignation of 'tainted' BJP leaders today

New Delhi

: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will on Monday hold a protest march in the national capital, demanding the resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and HRD Minister Smriti Irani.

The protest march will take place from Jantar Mantar to the Parliament.

The BJP, which has been defending Sushma Swaraj despite opposition demands that she be sacked for helping Lalit Modi, has been hit with another worry when the former IPL boss claimed that Raje secretly supported his immigration plea in Britain.

The opposition mounted pressure on Raje after the emergence of a letter reportedly carrying her signature, in which she backs Lalit Modi's application in the UK.

Meanwhile, a Delhi court agreed to hear a complaint against Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani over her educational qualifications.
