Started raising slogans. On this, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs protested against the BJP and raised slogans against it over the Adani issue.
Three BJP MLAs were forcefully ousted on the instructions of Speaker Ram Niwas Goyal, but the rest of the BJP MLAs boycotted the House. After this the Lieutenant Governor completed his address.
The marshal ousted BJP MLAs Jitendra Mahajan, OP Sharma and Anil Bajpai from the House. The motion, moved by Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj, said the BJP MLAs disrupted the Lt Governor’s address and the matter should be referred to the Ethics Committee as it was a violation of the convention of the House.
The passed resolution states that such disruption is contempt of the House.
Leader of Opposition Ramveer Singh Bidhuri claimed in a statement that the Speaker’s action of marshaling out three BJP MLAs was also a clear violation of rules.
