When asked about the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) starting the recitation of ‘Sunderkand Path’, Hooda said that AAP is an alliance partner, and why will Congress have any problem with their decision.
"In India every party has the right to practice and perform religious rituals. Why should we have any issue? We are happy," Hooda said.
