New Delhi, Jan 8 (UNI) BJP MLA Harish Khurana has written to the Delhi Assembly Speaker, seeking action against AAP MLA Jarnail Singh for alleged breach of privilege and contempt of the House.
In his complaint, Khurana, who represents Moti Nagar, referred to a post shared on the social media platform X by Jarnail Singh and said it was made despite his suspension from the Assembly. Jarnail Singh and three other opposition MLAs were suspended on August 5, 2025, for disorderly conduct during the address of the Lieutenant Governor, the letter said.
Citing the Rules of Procedure of the Delhi Assembly, Khurana said a suspended member must withdraw from the precincts of the House. He alleged that Jarnail Singh used threatening and abusive language against security personnel while criticising the Speaker’s decision.
The complaint also objected to remarks made in the video, alleging that the MLA accused the Speaker of acting in a dictatorial manner.
Calling the issue serious and related to the dignity of the House and the Speaker’s office, Khurana requested that the matter be referred to the Committee of Privileges for further action.
The Delhi Assembly Speaker later said that this matter has been referred to the Privileges Committee.
