The Delhi Assembly witnessed high drama on Thursday as five people allegedly created ruckus in the office of Transport Minister Gopal Rai at the "behest" of AAP lawmaker Pankaj Pushkar.
It was assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel, who raised the issue in the assembly and slammed Pushkar -- a disgruntled AAP leader.
Goel said five men entered the assembly premises who were let in at Pushkar's order to security guard.
Recounting the incident, Rai said around 7 p.m. on Wednesday five forcibly entered his office in Vidhan Sabha and threw mud bags on his table.
He said they shouted slogans too.
Goel said right after the incident, he saw those men talking to Pushkar.
"They were talking to you. And I have a picture which proves that," Goel said.
"I see a political conspiracy in it. Till yesterday you were saying that you life is under threat and now this," Goel said.
Pushkar has filed a complaint against AAP MLA Nitin Tyagi, alleging threat to his life.
However, Rai said he wanted to end the issue as there is no one who could stop them from waging war against corruption.
Pushkar pleaded for a chance to explain his position, but the speaker denied this.
