New Delhi, Feb 27 (UNI) Opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislators on Thursday staged a protest outside the Delhi Assembly against the BJP government for not allowing them to enter the premises.
Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Atishi said, "The BJP has crossed all limits of dictatorship. Aam Aadmi Party MLAs were suspended suspended from the House for three days for raising slogans of 'Jai Bhim' and today AAP MLAs are not even being allowed to enter the Vidhan Sabha premises.
"It has never happened in the history of the Delhi Legislative Assembly that elected MLAs are not allowed to enter the Assembly premises. "
Atishi held a sit-in with her party MLAs near the barricades. They alleged that on the orders of the Speaker, the police are not allowing the AAP MLAs to enter the assembly premises.
"This has never happened in any Assembly. Members may be suspended, but they have never been prevented from entering the Assembly premises. In parliament, suspended MPs are allowed to stage protests at the base of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi which is within the parliament premises," she said,
The AAP MLAs were expelled from the proceedings of the House for three working days on Tuesday for creating ruckus during the Lieutenant Governor's address. UNI GNK SSP
