The Navi Mumbai unit of AAP held a peaceful protest at Digha Lake on Thane-Belapur Road against the ordinance by the Modi Government to control bureaucrats of Delhi.

Supported by many local politicians
The protest received support from the AAP Digha node. A good number of party workers including Airoli Node Women President Aarti Sonawane, volunteers, and committee members such as Santosh Gawli from Airoli and Arjun Nandure, President of Digha Ward No. 1 were present.
After the Supreme Court’s decision in favour of AAP to have control over the transfer and posting of bureaucrats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led central government brought an ordinance. The outfit alleged that BJP is flouting the Supreme Court's order and attempting to encroach on the authority of the Delhi government by passing an ordinance in Parliament. These actions have triggered widespread protests across Maharashtra as well.
