NEW DELHI: BJP MLAs on Wednesday staged a protest by raising slogans in the Delhi Assembly, staging a protest against AAP leader and Leader of the Opposition Atishi over her alleged use of 'insensitive words' against a Sikh Guru during a recent Assembly session.\
Speaking to reporters, Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma said that during the Legislative Assembly session on Tuesday, members were paying respect to the Sikh Gurus. He said a special discussion was held in the House to mark the 354th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, which is observed across the country.
“On one hand, we were paying tribute and showing respect, but on the other hand, Atishi did not participate meaningfully and made a statement that hurt our sentiments. We are deeply pained that an AAP leader and former Delhi Chief Minister has insulted a Sikh Guru. Today, she is not even present in the Assembly. She has neither apologised nor attended the session, ” Verma said.
