A few minutes after the second day of the Monsoon Session began, six AAP MLAs were marshalled out of the Delhi Assembly after they were asked to remove their “objectionable” T-shirts by Speaker Vijender Gupta. The MLAs marshalled out were – Sanjeev Jha, Jarnail Singh, Kuldeep Kumar, Prem Kumar, Som Dutt and Ajay Dutt. “The opposition disrupted the discussion going on in the assembly of public interest; hence, they are being marshalled out,” Gupta said.
