The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday said it will submit a privilege notice in the Lok Sabha against Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh for what it called "misleading" Parliament on its demand for Delhi's full statehood. The Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday claimed that it had received no request from the city government to grant Delhi full statehood.

AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj wrote in Twitter: "Our party's member of Parliament will give privilege notice to initiate contempt proceedings against the Minister for deceiving Parliament and Delhi people." Earlier in the day, Congress party's Professor K.V. Thomas had asked in the Lok Sabha the Home Minister three questions. First, is there a demand for statehood to Delhi; second, if so, what is the policy of the Central government; and third, what is the time by which a decision may be taken.
