New Delhi: Timarpur MLA Pankaj Pushkar, a&nbsp;dissident face of ruling AAP, was on Friday suspended from the&nbsp;Delhi Assembly for two days as he kept on demanding a&nbsp;discussion on EWS category in schools despite the Speaker's&nbsp;objection.
The suspension bars Pushkar from partaking in the&nbsp;Assembly's proceedings today and on November 30, when it will&nbsp;meet next after the weekend. The session has been extended&nbsp;till December 4.
Home Minister Satyender Jain moved the proposal to&nbsp;suspend Pushkar, which was then voted upon. Following&nbsp;unanimous approval from the House, Speaker Ram Niwas Goel gave&nbsp;his ruling in favour of Pushkar's suspension.
Meanwhile, the six woman MLA's of AAP including Alka&nbsp;Lamba, walked out of the House demanding BJP legislator O P&nbsp;Sharma's "permanent suspension" for using derogatory language&nbsp;against her.
Earlier, Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta gave a&nbsp;notice demanding suspension of House proceedings alleging that&nbsp;the government was not following the constitution in its&nbsp;functionings. It was rejected by the Speaker prompting a&nbsp;walkout by Gupta and BJP MLA Jagdish Pradhan.&nbsp;
"We did not want to obstruct the proceedings. But the BJP&nbsp;MLAs themselves demanded suspension of work instead of&nbsp;apologising for their colleagues' mistake," Lamba said.&nbsp;
Yesterday, Sharma, who is BJP's Vishwas Nagar (East) MLA,&nbsp;was suspended from the Assembly for the rest of the ongoing&nbsp;Winter Session by Goel for using derogatory language against&nbsp;Lamba.
Goel also referred the matter to the Ethics Committee of&nbsp;the House for further probe as six women MLAs of AAP, sporting&nbsp;black badges, sat in the well of the House demanding permanent&nbsp;suspension of Sharma and that he be "jailed".

AAP MLA Pankaj Pushkar,&nbsp;who has been at odds with the&nbsp;party leadership since the expulsion of Yogendra Yadav and&nbsp;Prashant Bhushan, was on Friday suspended from the&nbsp;Delhi Assembly for two days as he kept on demanding a&nbsp;discussion on EWS category in schools despite the Speaker's&nbsp;objection
