New Delhi, April 2 -- The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has written to the Rajya Sabha secretariat seeking the removal of Raghav Chadha as the party's deputy leader in the House, sources said on Thursday.

Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal from Punjab is likely to be appointed as the new deputy leader, they added.

According to sources, the letter also states that Chadha -- who is also a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab -- should not be allotted time for speaking in the House from the AAP's quota.

The AAP currently has 10 members in the Rajya Sabha, including seven from Punjab and three from Delhi.
