LUDHIANA NEWS-Aam Aadmi Party organises prayer meeting for Santosh Koli

Ludhiana, July 2, 2013: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Ludhiana organised a prayer meeting for Santosh Koli, the Aam Aadmi party candidate from Seemapuri for the Delhi elections to be held in November this year. 

`Prarthana Sabha’ held at Jagraon Bridge here today, which was attended by hundreds of party volunteers including Ramesh Singla, District Convenor, Balbir Aggarwal, District Secretary, Harjot Singh Bains, Punjab State Convenor, Jinder Pal Gupta, Bahadur Singh and Raghuvir Chand Raju.

According to Kanav Vats, District Spokesperson for the party, “Santosh Koli is an RTI Activist who was deliberately hit by a car as she was going to the party office on Sunday afternoon. She is still fighting desperately for her life at Yashodha Hospital as she sustained grievous head injuries. Santosh has been associated with Arvind Kejriwal’s NGO Parivartan since 2001 and has been fighting the ration mafia in Delhi. More than nine attempts have earlier been made on her life including cutting her throat once. But that has never deterred her from actively fighting for the rights of the underprivileged and for justice to the people especially of Sundar Nagri which is a slum area in Delhi to which she belongs.”

Ramesh Singla, the District Convenor said that “this dastardly act shows the desperation of the corrupt ruling class of Delhi which consider honest and courageous fighters like Santosh a threat to their corrupt system. But they must realise that this cowardly act will only make our will to fight this rotten system stronger. We will keep praying that Santosh Koli not only recovers soon but is able to join this fight to root out these criminal elements from our society, very soon. We promise that soon we will usher in a new system where people like Santosh do not have to face such brutality again”.
