NEW DELHI: Five BJP MLAs were marshalled out of the Delhi assembly during the proceedings on Thursday for protesting against a discussion over the Manipur issue, following which the party's other members staged a walkout.
AAP MLA Durgesh Pathak began a short duration discussion over the violence in the northeastern state prompting a protest from the BJP MLAs who got up from their seats, and said issues related to Delhi should be debated in the House.
Lakhs of people from Manipur live in Delhi and it was "our right and duty to discuss the issue in the House", he said.
