The opposition AAP made their presence felt in the house by protesting since the beginning of the session on Tuesday. AAP raised slogans condemning the Bharatiya Janata Party government and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta for allegedly removing portraits of Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh from the chief minister’s office (CMO). Reportedly, the portraits were not removed from CMO, but moved to a different spot, and portraits of President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were placed on the wall behind the chief minister’s desk.

Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta suspended Opposition leader Atishi, former minister Gopal Rai and several other AAP MLAs for the day for creating ruckus inside the assembly. The suspended legislators protested outside the house condemning the government.
Addressing presspersons, Atishi slammed the Rekha Gupta government and said they would continue their protest until the portrait of Ambedkar is moved to its earlier position. "BJP has replaced the portrait of Dr Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar with that of PM Modi in the CM office and cabinet ministers office. Is PM Modi bigger than Dr BR Ambedkar?... We will keep on protesting against it until the portrait of Ambedkar is put in its place,” Hindustan Times reported quoting Atishi.
