A political storm erupted during the Delhi Assembly proceedings as Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anurag Dhanda strongly raised the issue of an alleged insult to Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, directly targeting Delhi minister Kapil Mishra. Dhanda has demanded Mishra’s immediate dismissal, calling the matter deeply sensitive and unacceptable.
Amid loud disruptions and heated exchanges in the Assembly, AAP legislators accused Kapil Mishra of hurting religious sentiments. Lending strong support to these demands, Anurag Dhanda accused the minister of serious misconduct and said such actions have no place in public life.
Anurag Dhanda: Demand for Kapil Mishra’s Removal
Taking to social media, Anurag Dhanda shared a video of AAP MLAs protesting inside the Assembly and made sharp allegations against Kapil Mishra. He claimed that Mishra had circulated a fake video and alleged that the minister had earlier played a role in instigating the Delhi riots, adding gravity to the controversy.
Dhanda stated that insulting Guru Teg Bahadur Ji is an attack on the faith and sentiments of millions, and asserted that Kapil Mishra should be removed from the Assembly without delay.
Issue Dominates Assembly Proceedings
The matter led to intense uproar in the Delhi Assembly, with opposition MLAs repeatedly raising slogans and demanding accountability. The controversy has further escalated tensions between the ruling dispensation and the AAP, turning the Assembly into a battleground over religious respect and political responsibility.
Dhanda’s Earlier Criticism of Assembly Actions
This is not the first time Anurag Dhanda has spoken out strongly on Assembly matters. Earlier, he had criticized the suspension of AAP MLAs, urging Speaker Vijender Gupta to revoke the action. Dhanda had argued that AAP legislators only wanted a discussion on Delhi’s pollution crisis, but were instead suspended, which he termed undemocratic.
He had then accused the government of suppressing voices raising public interest issues, a stance that continues to define his confrontational approach in the current controversy as well.
Political Temperature Rises in Delhi
With allegations, counter-allegations and demands for resignation gaining momentum, the issue is expected to further intensify political tensions in Delhi. As the debate over religious sentiments and ministerial accountability grows louder, Anurag Dhanda’s remarks have firmly placed Kapil Mishra at the center of a fresh political flashpoint.
