Atishi, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Delhi Assembly, wrote to Speaker Vijender Gupta, alleging that the Opposition is being systematically 'silenced' through repeated suspensions and expulsions. She stated that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs would only resume participation in House proceedings after the suspension of four legislators (Sanjiv Jha, Kuldeep Kumar, Jarnail Singh, and Somdutt) is revoked. Atishi criticized the Speaker's remarks about the Opposition's absence as 'misplaced and deeply ironic', highlighting that the suspended MLAs were barred from the Assembly premises and committee meetings, which she termed as 'punishment aimed at crushing dissent'.
