Read | Peculiar obstacle in AAP’s poll campaign: Aapki Apni PartyThe AAP had in August last year moved HC for directions to the poll panel to de-register Aapki Apni Party. In their affidavit filed through advocates Sunil K Kalra and Mahipal Singh, Aapki Apni Party said: “If such writ petitions are entertained, the entire political system will collapse. Aapki Apni Party (Peoples) Friday told the Delhi High Court that they are not using the poll symbol with battery torch and rays of light, which AAP claims resembles its broom symbol, on hoardings or advertisements. Now, the latter has filed an affidavit saying that AAP’s petition is “liable to be dismissed” as a “political party gets registration with their name and not by the acronym and abbreviation name”. AdvertisingThe party’s president, who was present in person before a court of Justice Yogesh Khanna, submitted that “the names of ‘Aam Aadmi Party and ‘Aapki Apni Party (Peoples)’ have no phonetic or other similarities, so there is no possibility of confusion between the two names in the mind of any person”..
