AAP legislators and Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta indulged in a war of words after MLA Alka Lamba played a video showing DU student Gurmehar Kaur holding a placard that read her father was killed by war and not Pakistan.
When Lamba requested Speaker Ram Niwas Goel to allow her to play the video, Gupta protested it, saying that showing any such video in the House is a clear violation of assembly rules. He then entered the Well of House.
Alka alleged the BJP is practising the politics of hatred, while Gupta sought to know if the Aam Aadmi Party supported those who raised anti-India slogans outside Ramjas College on February 21 and 22.
