New Delhi Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator from Dakha constituency in Punjab HS Phoolka today said if his party enters into an alliance with the Congress then he will quit.
HS Phoolka, who was the opposition leader in Punjab Assembly, clarified that he cannot ally with the Congress because for him the issue of 1984 violence against the Sikhs was the most important.

“My stand is very clear, I cannot have any relation with Congress because for me the issue of 1984 issue is the biggest and I will not make any compromise with it,” HS Phoolka. “If the party (AAP) enters Congress-led alliance I’ll tender resignation that very moment,” he added.
The AAP legislator’s comment comes just a day after opposition parties displayed a show of strength during the swearing-in ceremony of HD Kumaraswamy in Bengaluru. Among those who attended the swearing-in ceremony was AAP chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Congress president Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia were also present.
