AAP leader Atishi calls suspension of 21 MLAs an \”injustice to the opposition\” Atishi accuses ruling party MLAs of raising slogans of ‘Modi-Modi,’ while opposition MLAs raised ‘Jai Bheem’ Atishi: ‘BJP has an issue with BR Ambedkar’s photo and his name. Does this mean that the BJP think that PM Modi is bigger than BR AmBedkar?’ Atishi writes letter to Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta. AAP MLAs announce their decision to take the matter to the President Droupadi Murmu. The party leadership sees the suspensions and restrictions as an attempt to suppress opposition voices within the Assembly. The suspension of the MLAs has been described as an \”insult\” to both the MLas and the public mandate they represent. The suspended MLAs attempted to stage a protest near the Mahatma Gandhi statue in the Assembly premises. They were stopped 200 meters before the gate of the Assembly and were prevented from entering the premises. Atishi urges the Speaker to protect the democratic values and ensure that no MLA is deprived of his constitutional rights.
