NEW DELHI: Admiral (retd) L Ramdas, recently sacked by Aam Aadmi Party as its internal Lokpal, has questioned the move claiming that his term was to end in November 2016. Ramdas said he was "stunned", "bemused" and "befuddled" by AAP 's decision, and questioned how he was allowed to work as the party's internal ombudsman during Delhi assembly polls if his tenure had already ended, as claimed by the party."Had there been any indication... that my term had expired, I might not have carried out all those tasks — which could now even be termed illegal or invalid," Ramdas said in an email to party general secretary Pankaj Gupta.He referred to the investigation he carried out into various complaints, an exercise which included examining Arvind Kejriwal and other members of the national executive.Ramdas said the party had consulted him and forwarded queries as late as March 25 — just four days before his sacking. "You will also recall that in January 2015, you as national secretary of the party had referred complaints regarding 12 Vidhan Sabha candidates to me as Lokpal for investigation. I had made my reports to you and others concerned regarding these candidates in time for them to file their nomination papers by January 21, 2015," Ramdas said.He said while carrying out investigations, he had examined Manish Sisodia, Ashish Khetan, Anand Kumar, Gopal Rai, as well as the complainants Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, all members of the national executive.Ramdas and Ilina Sen were sacked as the party's Lokpal on Sunday and replaced by a three-member panel headed by N Dilip Kumar, a retired IPS officer.Ramdas noted that even as the party replaced him, it did not even consult him to appoint his successor as mentioned in the party constitution."The national executive has the right to change the Lokpal in a constitutional way. Decisions are being taken as per the procedures laid down in the constitution," Gopal Rai, AAP leader and a senior minister in the Delhi government, told reporters.
