Overview
- Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta directed a forensic examination of the viral video and set a 15-day deadline for the report.
- BJP leaders led by Ramesh Bidhuri filed a police complaint seeking an FIR and Atishi’s arrest, calling the alleged remarks deliberate and abusive.
- Proceedings were repeatedly adjourned as BJP MLAs stormed the well, pressed for a censure motion, and demanded cancellation of Atishi’s Assembly membership.
- Atishi and AAP rejected the charges, said the video was edited with false subtitles, posted counter-clips, and sought release of full House footage while urging action against those who circulated it.
- AAP accused the BJP of using the row to avoid a scheduled debate on Delhi’s air pollution, as ministers also planned to place the matter before the Akal Takht in Amritsar.
