New Delhi [India], January 8 (ANI): Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra on Thursday demanded the termination of Leader of Opposition Atishi's Assembly membership, saying her alleged disrespectful remarks about Guru Tegh Bahadur cannot be ignored, and she should apologise.
Speaking to the reporters, Mishra said, "Almost the entire House believes that the disrespectful behaviour displayed by the Leader of the Opposition in this House cannot be simply ignored by allowing her to walk out... The Leader of the Opposition should apologise... Yesterday, we wrote a letter to the Speaker requesting that her (Atishi's) membership also be terminated..."
BJP MLA Ravinder Singh Negi also criticised Atishi, calling them "irresponsible" and disrespectful to the Gurus, and demanded her suspension and punishment.

"The LoP Atishi gave a very irresponsible statement in the assembly...It is very sad that she used such language for the Gurus...We demanded that the LoP be suspended and punished...We cannot tolerate the disrespect of the Gurus," he said.
Earlier today, the Delhi Assembly witnessed chaos as BJP MLAs protested against AAP over alleged remarks by LoP Atishi on a Sikh Guru.
Then AAP MLAs entered the Assembly carrying posters and chanting slogans, demanding the resignation of Kapil Mishra.
Amidst the uproar, the assembly proceedings were adjourned for 30 minutes.
The winter session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly commenced on January 5 (Monday) and will continue until January 8.
AAP MLA and Deputy Leader of Opposition Mukesh Ahlawat wrote to Speaker Vijendra Gupta regarding allegations against Atishi and the circulation of videos related to the matter.
In his letter, Ahlawat stated, "The video tweeted by Kapil Mishra is not part of the official record of the Assembly, which raises serious concerns about how he obtained the video footage. Even in the footage tweeted by him, it is clear that LoP Atishi is saying, "Then please conduct the discussion. Why have you been running away since morning? You are saying, 'respect dogs, respect dogs.' Hon'ble Speaker, please allow a discussion on this matter."
The Aam Aadmi Party legislative party has demanded that the full footage from the Assembly cameras be provided, in which the statement by LoP Atishi is clearly visible and audible.
Further, the cancellation of the Delhi Assembly membership of Kapil Mishra for circulating false videos. Suspension for six months of all other MLAs who circulated a manipulated video along with a false transcription. (ANI)
