The NDMC Mayor allowed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) members inside the House and revoked their suspension after they held protest on Monday. Twenty-six members of AAP were suspended by the Mayor, said the Leader of Opposition, adding that the AAP has 31 councillors in the 104-member House.
Earlier in the day the suspended members of the AAP in North Corporation staged a protest on Monday and alleged that it was "murder of democracy" to keep the Opposition party out of the proceedings.
The members were recently suspended from the House meeting of the civic body. North Delhi Mayor Avtar Singh on September 23 had suspended over 20 members of the Aam Aadmi Party for 15 days following a spat among councillors of the ruling and the Opposition parties.
The Mayor convened a special meeting of the House on Monday following which AAP councillors squatted in the corridor and raised anti-BJP slogans.
The AAP councillors protested outside the House wearing black armbands and headbands and displayed placards.
The special House was convened by the Mayor to discuss the issues of dengue, but soon after the AAP members resumed their place in the House, the members of the ruling BJP and Opposition parties engaged in heated exchange of words.
