The speaker in the Delhi Assembly on Thursday ordered the forensic investigation of a video purportedly showing Aam Aadmi Party MLA Atishi insulting Guru Tegh Bahadur, PTI reported.

This came amid the Bharatiya Janata Party accusing the leader of the Opposition in the Assembly of making insensitive remarks about the Sikh spiritual leader in the House on Tuesday after a special discussion on an event to mark his 350th martyrdom anniversary in November.

A video of the alleged comments was also shared by members of the ruling party in Delhi.

Atishi, however, rejected the allegations and said that she was talking about the BJP running away from a discussion on the worsening air pollution in the national capital and about their protest in the Assembly on the matter of stray dogs.

“But the BJP deliberately added a false subtitle and inserted the name of Guru Tegh Bahadurji into it,” PTI quoted her as saying about the video shared by the Hindutva party.

The allegations against Atishi have led to a ruckus during the Winter Session of the Assembly, with both the BJP and the AAP accusing each other of insulting Guru Tegh Bahadur.

The fourth day of the session on Thursday was also disrupted as BJP MLAs carrying posters descended into the well of the House demanding action against Atishi, PTI reported. The legislators also demanded the cancellation of her House membership.

Subsequently, Speaker Vijender Gupta adjourned the House for 30 minutes as slogans were shouted.

After the House resumed, Gupta said that the video will be sent for forensic examination as both the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party members have demanded it. He also directed that the report on the investigation be submitted within 15 days.

However, the protest by the BJP MLAs continued in the well of the House, which forced the speaker to adjourn the session till 1 pm.
