New Delhi: Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal yesterdaysaid his Aam Aadmi Party will go for an organisational revamp in the coming days. “The PAC (political affairs committee) will be re-formed in our ‘mission vistar’. New members will join the party in the coming days,” Kejriwal told media here after the conclusion of a three-day meeting of the party’s national executive.
The political affairs committee is the AAP’s highest decision-making body. Some 40 AAP members, including Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Yogendra Yadav, Ashutosh and Anjali Damania, participated in the meetings held from June 6 at party leader Prashant Bhushan’s residence in south Delhi.
“In the mission vistar exercise, all units of the party from block to national level would be revamped with increase in membership,” Kejriwal said.
The restructuring work will be looked after by the party’s 10-member committee headed by Prithvi Reddy, a party member from Bangalore. The restructuring would be done within the next one year. Of some 440 seats the AAP contested in the Lok Sabha election, the party won only four, all in Punjab. It suffered a setback in Delhi, failing to win even a single seat.

Gurgaon: A curfew was imposed in a Haryana town yesterday following tension between two communities after a road accident, police said.
Violence erupted yesterday morning in Tauru town, some 40km from Gurgaon city, after a truck mowed down two men on a bike, killing one of them on the spot, police said.
Tension gripped the Meo (Muslim) dominated area in Mewat district after the accident.
“Danveer Singh, 22, died on the spot while the other was critically injured,” a senior police officer said. “The driver and helper of the truck, from Meo community, were badly thrashed by the mob. A rumour spread that duo were beaten to death and people from a community started looting shops in the main market,” he said.
The markets were closed after the violence. Most of the access routes to Tauru from Mewat were blocked by the people from a community.IANS
