AAP way of conduct in its forum  has been under scanner
and blames are being made by their MLA and now senior diplomats make a complain about their rowdy behaviour thus she quits the AAP .
Former diplomat and AAP’s founding member Madhu Bhaduri on Sunday “distanced” herself from the party alleging that she was heckled at a meeting for introducing a resolution condemning Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti’s role in a midnight raid, even as the outfit rubbished the charges.
“I have distance myself from the party. I am not with the party anymore,” Bhaduri said in a response to a question whether she has quit AAP.“There is no question of quitting because I don’t hold any post in the party. I am neither a national executive member nor a political affairs committee member,” she added.
Bhaduri, a member of the party panel to chalk its foreign policy, had alleged she was heckled at Friday’s National Council meeting here when she tried to pass a resolution condemning Bharti’s midnight raid in the Khirki extension.
“I had given a formal request to the party on January 23 for a resolution. Navy Chief Admiral (retd) Ramdas was also aware of it. On the day of the meeting, when the session was going on, I again went to Ramdas, who was speaking at that time and told him that I also wanted to speak. I had hardly started speaking and introduced a resolution when I was heckled,” Bhaduri claimed.
“I’m not angry, but disappointed and disillusioned with the party. I am not concerned with whether Bharti would be removed or not, my only concern is humanity and that women are also human being… This party does not considered them as human beings,” she said.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has, however, rubbished the allegations that she was heckled.
Elaborating on the day’s event, AAP spokesperson Dilip Pandey said, “Members were asked to ventilate their grievances, give suggestions for improvement of the party and Madhuiji also tried to put forth a point. She was even asked to come to podium and talk.”
“But she was saying something which the party did not agree to and it was also not a part of the agenda of the National Council meeting. Therefore, she was asked to stop as others were waiting for their turn to speak,” he said.
Claiming that Bhaduri was present even after the incident, Pandey asked, “Had she been heckled, do you think she should have waited all through the meeting?”
Asked about the issue, senior party leader Ashutosh said, “She was the only member of the National Council who was called on the stage to put forth her views. She tried to put her views also. It is not always necessary that an individual’s views are in the line with the party.”
“She was a founder member of the party. Our sympathies are with her. Moreover, AAP respects women the most and they are an important part of the organisation. I feel she should not have acted in haste,” he added.

Youth Peace Fest 2014-Aims to build a Culture of Peace among Youth
7 billion reasons for Peace by Prem Rawat, an International Peace Ambassdor
Youth Peace FestNew Delhi, 2nd February:  With ever increasing life pressures on youth from work, study, and technology, “Youth Peace Fest” was launched in an initiative focusing on the peace and wellbeing of young people on Sunday. More than two lakh youth gathered at the mega event and were addressed by an internationally known peace ambassador Prem Rawat.
As nowadays, young people face some of the most difficult conditions impacting wellbeing, including the constant distraction of always on technology, peer pressure and long hours of work, to really enjoy life. With this idea, “Youth Peace Fest” was born out of a sense of wanting to build a culture of peace. It is a step towards redressing the balance and bringing attention to the individual’s need for peace in one’s busy lives.

The theme of the fest was “7 Billion Reasons for Peace” the number representing the population of humanity, with each person being an important reason for peace.
Speaking on the launch of Youth Peace Fest in India, Prem Rawat stated that, “Peace is not a luxury. It’s not an option. It is fundamental to the existence and well-being of a human being to have peace in their life. Some say peace is the absence of war; some say peace is when you are free from all the problems of the world. Peace is more than political peace. Peace is a fundamental experience of existence within every single human being.”
Elucidating the importance of individual art of peace Mr. Rawat further said that, “There are 7 billion reasons for peace that could define the conduit of world citizens and can make the world a better place to live together. Embracing a new paradigm of a peaceful world, I believe Indian youth could be best benefitted from this fest and could learn to contribute back to their societies.”
Rawat in his work always focus to reach out to people and introduce them to a possibility of peace that lies within each one of them. In his vision that peace is a fundamental need of each individual, the Prem Rawat foundation helps to make his message of peace available throughout the world and funds two proprietary programs, The Peace Education Program and the Food for People program.
The fest aimed at building a culture of peace by developing individual capabilities and endurance. With the central endeavour to improve the quality of human life, Prem Rawat is presenting the possibility of peace for those who wish to pursue it. As an extension of a global campaign, this fest will soon be organised in other parts of India. 
It aimed bringing an inspiring message of hope as well as a call to action.  Glimpse of the event on you tube:  http://youtu.be/3Vm4L1_4N9I
