Kapil Mishra was beaten up by AAP MLAs

New Delhi, May 31: Former minister Kapil Mishra was beaten up by AAP MLAs inside the Delhi Assembly here on Wednesday as he tried to raise slogans against CM Arvind Kejriwal and health minister Satyendra Jain.

Speaking to the media reporters here on today Kapil Mishra said the assault was ordered by Kejriwal and dared the AAP chief to come out clean on the allegations levelled against him.

Television images showed Mishra being surrounded and heckled by a few AAP MLAs on the floor of the house. The Speaker had to summon marshals to rescue Mishra and take him away.



Talking to reporters outside the Assembly, Mishra said he was punched in the chest by AAP MLAs. "I had written a letter to the Speaker on Kejriwal's corruption and asked to be allowed to speak during the Assembly session. I had also called for a special session at the Ramlila Maidan but I was attacked," Mishra said.

Mishra also added that "I was thrashed, some of them kicked me on the chest. But I am not afraid of them. Kejriwal and Satyendra Jain are corrupt and have been exposed. My fight against these corrupt leaders will continue."
