Special session wasn’t needed as laws already withdrawn: Bidhuri
Description
New Delhi: All the BJP MLAs walked out of the one-day special session of the Delhi assembly on Friday after an MLA of the party was suspended and two others were marshalled out. The BJP MLAs demanded that they be heard on issues ranging from air pollution to the new excise policy and value-added tax, but were denied permission by speaker Ram Niwas Goel on the grounds that only items listed in the agenda would be discussed in the special session. After BJP MLA Jitender Mahajan was suspended from the session by the assembly and Anil Bajpai and Mohan Singh Bisht were marshalled out for allegedly disrupting the proceedings, the rest of the BJP MLAs walked out. Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, leader of the opposition in the Delhi assembly, said that the special session of the assembly was not required after the withdrawal of three farm laws and the problems of Delhi, such as increasing pollution, new liquor policy and plight of the city’s farmers, should have been discussed.
