Expressing his emotions, Kamal Medhi took to Facebook to share his sentiments following the expulsion.
It may be mentioned that the suspension order was signed by the convenor of Assam State Aap Aadmi Party, Bhaben Choudhury.
In the order, it was written that while Medhi had already apologised for the “anti-Ahom remarks”, he broke the party’s ethics by later more controversial remarks on social media. Hence, for this, he was suspended with immediate effect.

Medhi claimed that no one even gave him a show-cause notice regarding the issue adding that his suspension came based on the order of Assam’s “almighty”.
