Delhi: Four BJP MLAs marshalled out of Assembly after they object to debate on Manipur violence

Four Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs were marshalled out of the Delhi Assembly on Thursday after they objected to a discussion on the violence in Manipur, the Hindustan Times reported.

After MLAs Abhay Verma, Jitendra Mahajan, OP Sharma and Anil Bajpai were marshalled out, the remaining BJP legislators, including Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, staged a walkout.

The MLAs said that any discussion on the northeastern state was out of the jurisdiction of the Delhi Assembly.

At least 187 people have been killed and nearly 60,000 have been forced to flee their homes since violence broke out between the Kuki and Meitei communities in the Northeastern state on May 3. The state has reported cases of rape and murder, and mobs have looted police armoury and set several homes on fire despite the heavy presence of central security forces.

Opposition parties have blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre and the state government for failing to control the violence.
