Senior advocate H.S. Phoolka quit the AAP on Saturday and announced his withdrawal from politics, saying he wanted to focus to getting justice for the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

"Party (AAP) has happily relieved me for my old cause of justice to victims (anti-Sikh riots) of 1984," Phoolka tweeted.

Phoolka told reporters that the Aam Aadmi Party was doing very well in Punjab and will win in the next polls.

"The 1984 riot cases are at a crucial juncture now and require my full time. So AAP has agreed to relieve me from all posts," Phoolka said.
