Delhi's Political Turmoil: AAP MLAs Expelled Amid Ambedkar Portrait Controversy

Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta expelled 12 AAP MLAs, including Leader of Opposition Atishi, for the day for protesting during LG VK Saxena's address. The expelled MLAs accused the BJP of disrespecting BR Ambedkar by removing his portrait from key offices, sparking protests in the assembly.

In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta expelled 12 AAP MLAs, including Leader of Opposition Atishi, from the House for a day. Their expulsion came after they raised slogans during Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's address on Tuesday.

The incident involved prominent AAP figures such as Atishi, Gopal Rai, and others, who were reportedly protesting the alleged removal of BR Ambedkar's portrait by the BJP-led administration. Atishi accused the BJP of disrespecting Ambedkar, questioning if Modi was meant to replace the respected leader.

Following their expulsion, the AAP lawmakers staged a protest within the assembly premises, holding Ambedkar's portraits and chanting slogans asserting India's unwillingness to tolerate the perceived insult to Ambedkar.
