Delhi govt puts up poster seeking response from Atishi over remarks in Assembly

NEW DELHI: (Jan 13) The Delhi government on Tuesday put up a poster featuring Leader of Opposition Atishi, with the words "Where is Atishi Marlena?" written on it, seeking a response from her over remarks allegedly made during proceedings in the Delhi Assembly earlier this month.

Delhi Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra, in a press conference, said that the issue relates to the January 6 sitting of the Assembly, when a discussion was being held to mark 350 years of the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, Bhai Sati Das Ji, Bhai Mati Das Ji and Bhai Dayala Ji.

He alleged that objectionable language was used during the discussion, which hurt the religious sentiments and affected the dignity of the House.
