New Delhi: A day before its jan sansad at Jantar Mantar, the Aam Aadmi Party will organize a public meeting on Saturday to express its solidarity with the people of Palestine and mourn the thousands who have perished in violence in Gaza. The event will take place at Jantar Mantar and will include speeches, a musical programme and a candlelight vigil. “It is a circle of peace and solidarity for the women, children and men in Gaza,” said the party.

On Sunday, the party will be holding its first public rally after quitting from Delhi assembly in February this year. AAP members said that they are expecting around 15,000 supporters, which will include party volunteers, to attend the rally that is being held to protest BJP’s indecision over fresh elections in the capital. “We have been campaigning extensively for the rally. Around 25,000 pamphlets have been distributed in each constituency while bike rallies and street plays have also taken place across the city to inform people about the jan sansad. The rally is extremely important for the party to know whether we still enjoy the support of people in Delhi,” said a member.

Earlier in the day, people from the Mehrauli constituency reported that they received pamphlets saying that the party had arranged for free transport to Jantar Mantar on Sunday. However, the party denied having made any such arrangement.
