Clashes on 'pollution, dogs, GTB anniv' dominate Day 2 of session

The second day of winter session of Delhi Assembly witnessed acrimony and adjournments on Tuesday, as legislators from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) clashed over a series of contentious issues, from alleged misinformation, to perceived “insults” against a Sikh guru, and even an alleged “historical gaffe”.

The day's drama began immediately after the 11am start, as BJP MLAS raised slogans demanding an apology from AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal for what they termed as “baseless claims” that school teachers were ordered to count stray dogs.

The uproar forced two adjournments before proceedings could resume at 2pm, with BJP members continuing their protest near the Mahatma Gandhi statue in the assembly complex.
