The Delhi BJP workers today staged a protest outside the Assembly against chief minister Arvind Kejriwal over the liquor policy case in which the AAP chief was questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) the previous day.

The party workers protested outside the Delhi assembly premise raised slogans ‘mastermind’ of the ‘liquor scam’ against Kejriwal and demanded his resignation. The police detained some of the protesters, including Sachdeva as they breach the barricade placed by security personnel. They were holding the protest during the daylong session of the Assembly that began shortly after 11am. Kejriwal was on Sunday questioned by CBI for about nine hours. He was asked 56 questions related to the now-scrapped policy at the CBI headquarters. The entire excise policy case is false and the result of dirty politics, Kejriwal said after his questioning. Arvind Kejriwal will address the House at 4pm where he is expected to launch a no-holds-barred attack on the BJP-ruled Centre as the probe agencies tighten their noose.

While, the ruling AAP MLAs today attacked Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena for raising objection to the summoning of the Assembly session, calling it an ‘insult’ to the House. Deputy Speaker Rakhi Birla alleged that attempts were being made to diminish the dignity and power of the House and also ordered referring the matter to the Committee of Privileges. Saxena had flagged procedural lapses committed on part of the Delhi Government in convening the one-day special session of the Assembly on April 17.
