MCD House Witnesses Chaos As AAP And BJP Councillors Clash; Throw Files, Hot Tea At Each Other | Video

Jagran Correspondent, New Delhi | The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) House on Thursday turned into a battlefield after councillors resorted to unruly behaviour during a meeting. Hot tea, water and files were thrown in the House. They also attempted to break the microphone. The ugly scene prompted the chairman to take action against the accused members. Now, a disciplinary committee will investigate the inappropriate behaviour in the House. Based on its report, suspension action might be taken against the councillors.

What Has Triggered the Ruckus?

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillors created a ruckus during the MCD meeting, demanding the release of councillors' development funds. Responding to the opposition's demand, Mayor Pravesh Wahi announced the release of a development fund of Rs 25 lakh, saying a total of Rs 2 crore would be released to councillors in the current financial year. However, AAP councillors were not satisfied with this and demanded an increase to Rs 1 crore.

MCD सदन बैठक में भाजपा से अपने क्षेत्र की जनता के हक़ और विकास के लिए फंड मांगने वालीं AAP पार्षद शगुफ़्ता जुबैर चौधरी को निशाना बनाना बेहद दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है। भाजपा शासित MCD के इशारे पर कांग्रेस नेता नाजिया दानिश ने AAP पार्षद शगुफ़्ता जुबैर चौधरी पर व्यक्तिगत टिप्पणियां की और अभद्र भाषा का इस्तेमाल किया। कांग्रेस की भूमिका पर भी अब सवाल खड़े हैं। हमारी मांग है कि बैठक में आज इस अभद्र भाषा का प्रयोग करने पर भाजपा मेयर प्रवेश वाही और कांग्रेस नेता नाजिया दानिश सदन में माफ़ी मांगें। जब AAP पार्षद जनता के हक़ की आवाज़ उठाते हैं, तो भाजपा शासित एमसीडी को जवाब देना चाहिए, आवाज़ दबाने की कोशिश नहीं करनी चाहिए। @AnkushNarang_
