NEWDELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party plunged into another crisis on Wednesday after rebel AAP MLA Kapil Mishra was roughed up by party legislators and dragged out of the Delhi Assembly by marshals. Mishra later claimed that he was ‘attacked’ on the orders of deputy CM Ma ni sh Si sod ia. High drama unfolded in the Delhi assembly when deputy CM Manish Sisodia was trying to respond to opposition leader Vijender Gupta’s allegations about shortage of medicines in Delhi government hospitals.
Kapil got up and sought a response from the speaker about a special session at Ramlila Maidan to discuss alleged corruption in the AAP. Speaker warned Mishra to not speak out of turn. Mishra then unfurled a banner asking for the special session. The Speaker then observed that this was not in keeping with the dignity of the assembly and asked marshals to remove Mishra. Things turned ugly as even before the marshals could come, a scuffle broke out between the MLAs and Mishra.
Scenes from the House showed Mishra being pushed, shoved and manhandled before he was dragged out.
