BJP Protest

What began as repeated disruptions inside the Delhi Assembly has now moved beyond the House, with the Bharatiya Janata Party taking its protest against Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi to the streets of the national capital.

On Friday, hundreds of BJP supporters, including members of the party’s Sikh unit, marched towards the AAP headquarters, raising slogans against Atishi and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal. Heavy police deployment was seen along the protest route as demonstrators attempted to move closer to the party office, escalating the political standoff.

BJP sharpens protest over remarks in House

The BJP said the street protest reflected mounting anger over what it termed “insensitive” remarks made by Atishi during a discussion related to Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur in the Delhi Assembly. The controversy had already led to repeated disruptions during the Winter Session.

BJP MP Kamaljeet Sehrawat described the remarks as “shocking”, stating that Guru Tegh Bahadur’s sacrifice for his community and the nation could not be spoken of lightly. She said Atishi should apologise and step down from her position.

BJP MLA Kailash Gehlot also said the issue could not be dismissed, calling the remarks highly inappropriate and serious. Former Delhi minister and BJP leader Arvinder Singh Lovely joined the protest, terming the language used in the Assembly disgraceful and insulting to India’s spiritual heritage.

BJP MP Yogender Chandolia said the party would continue pressing for accountability, alleging that the remarks amounted to an insult to Guru Tegh Bahadur during an Assembly session. He said the BJP would not tolerate such statements and reiterated the demand for Atishi’s resignation.

Tension continues inside Delhi Assembly

Even as protests unfolded outside, the confrontation inside the Delhi Assembly showed no signs of easing. Four AAP MLAs — Sanjeev Jha, Jarnail Singh, Som Dutt and Kuldeep Kumar — were marshalled out of the House amid sloganeering and repeated disruptions.

AAP leaders accused the BJP of using the controversy to avoid discussion on governance-related issues. AAP MLA Sanjeev Jha said MLAs were punished for raising questions, alleging selective action by the Speaker. Jarnail Singh echoed similar concerns, claiming democratic norms were being undermined inside the Assembly.

Speaker orders forensic examination

Amid the escalating political row, Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta had earlier ordered a forensic examination of a video containing the alleged remarks attributed to Atishi. The matter has also been referred to the Privileges Committee, which has been directed to submit its report within 15 days.

According to the Delhi Assembly secretariat, the inquiry will examine both the authenticity and the context of the remarks as tensions continue between the BJP and the AAP.

PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen travelling with a significantly smaller convoy in Delhi, with visuals showing only two vehicles accompanying him instead of the larger motorcade usually associated with VVIP movement.

The video, which quickly went viral on social media, showed the Prime Minister travelling in a Range Rover and a Toyota Fortuner during movement in the national capital. Reports said the reduction is part of a broader austerity and fuel-conservation initiative being implemented by the government.

Normally, the Prime Minister’s convoy includes around 12 to 15 vehicles, such as armoured cars, escort vehicles, jammer units, decoy cars and an ambulance under Special Protection Group (SPG) security arrangements. Officials, however, clarified that mandatory security protocols remain intact despite the reduction in the convoy size.

SPG implementing revised convoy measures

According to reports, the SPG has already started implementing the revised convoy arrangements during the Prime Minister’s recent visits to Gujarat, Assam and Hyderabad. The move is being seen as part of efforts to encourage fuel conservation and sustainable practices amid rising global energy concerns.

The development comes days after PM Modi appealed to citizens to reduce fuel consumption, use public transport where possible and adopt austerity measures in view of global uncertainties impacting energy markets.

Reports also suggested that Union Home Minister Amit Shah and several other ministers have started reducing convoy sizes and reviewing fuel-saving measures in their respective departments.

Congress leader Pawan Khera appeared before the Assam Crime Branch in Guwahati on Wednesday in connection with the ongoing passport controversy case linked to Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma.

The investigation began after allegations were made by Congress leaders claiming that Riniki Bhuyan Sarma possessed multiple passports and had overseas business interests. Following the remarks, an FIR was filed and Assam Police initiated a probe into the matter.

Khera arrived in Guwahati after being directed to cooperate with the investigation. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court had granted him anticipatory bail while asking him to participate in the probe whenever summoned by the authorities.

The controversy has triggered sharp political exchanges between the Congress and the BJP in Assam over the past several weeks. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had strongly denied the allegations made against his wife and warned of legal action.
