Assembly Issues Notices to Atishi, Other AAP MLAs

The BJP MLAs in the complaint claimed "the very fact that the deliberations of the Committee were disclosed" is itself a "serious issue of breach of privilege".

The Delhi Assembly has issued notices to former chief minister Atishi and other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs for allegedly "disclosing" deliberations of the recently held General Purposes Committee meeting.

The notices issued on Thursday comes following a complaint of "contempt and breach of privilege" by the BJP members.

A row had erupted after the meeting as the AAP had claimed that its MLAs, who are members of the panel, had proposed that Mata Savitribai Phule's portrait be also installed on the Delhi Assembly premises.

They alleged that the BJP members did not allow the proposal to be passed.

The assembly officials, however, said that no written proposal was submitted and the issue was raised verbally.
