Four AAP MLAs suspended from Delhi Assembly's Winter Session for 'disrupting' House proceedings

Speaker Vijender Gupta on Friday suspended four AAP MLAs for the remaining period of the ongoing Winter Session of the Delhi Assembly for "disrupting" House proceedings.

In a statement, Gupta said "due to the continuous disruption of the proceedings of the House and violation of its decorum", Opposition members (AAP) Som Dutt, Jarnail Singh, Sanjeev Jha and Kuldeep Kumar are suspended from the House for the rest of the Winter Session.

Jha, Singh and Kumar were earlier suspended from the Winter Session for three days for allegedly causing interruptions in the proceedings.


In a press conference, Jha said that he was marshalled out after he raised the demand that BJP ministers and MLAs should delete their social media posts sharing a video related to alleged insult of Guru Tegh Bahadur by Leader of Opposition Atishi.

Jha said he demanded a direction by the Chair of the House that the video should not be used because it was sent for forensic examination.

"As soon as I demanded it, I was marshalled out. My colleagues wanted to stage a walkout but they too were marshalled out," Jha said.

The House proceedings were adjourned first for 15 minutes due to the interruptions by the AAP MLAs. The sitting resumed at 1 pm but the AAP MLAs continued to argue with the Chair, after which the House was again adjourned till lunch hour.

Delhi Assembly resumed its proceedings after two days of complete washout over the BJP's allegation that Leader of Opposition Atishi disrespected Guru Tegh Bahadur.

Meanwhile, members raised issues from their constituencies under Rule 280 and Water Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh gave a statement on water supply in the city.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta presented supplementary demands for grants for 2025-26 that were passed by a voice vote in the House. The Delhi Appropriation Bill 2026 introduced by her was also passed by the House.
