New Delhi: Delhi BJP MLA OP Sharma was on Tuesday&nbsp;suspended from the Delhi Assembly for using derogatory&nbsp;language against AAP legislator Alka Lamba during a discussion&nbsp;on night shelters.
Sharma was suspended till Thursday by Speaker Ram Niwas&nbsp;Goel even as AAP's women legislators demanded his suspension&nbsp;for the complete winter session.
Shouting slogans, AAP's women MLAs also demanded an&nbsp;apology from Sharma or leader of the Opposition Vijender Gupta&nbsp;over the comments, threatening that they would not come to the&nbsp;House if their demands were not met.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his shock over&nbsp;the comments and hoped BJP would take action against him.
"Am shocked at language used by O P Sharma, BJP MLA,&nbsp;against a lady MLA. 2 days back also, he abused a lady MLA.&nbsp;Hope BJP will act against him," Kejriwal tweeted.&nbsp;
Sharma made the remarks during a discussion on homeless&nbsp;people and night shelters in the city, initiated through a&nbsp;calling attention motion by Vijender Gupta.
Gupta said this year, 402 deaths of homeless persons were&nbsp;reported till date, under Kashmiri Gate police station area in&nbsp;the city, while the number was 221 last year and alleged that&nbsp;the AAP government was not serious about this matter.&nbsp;
Lamba intervened in the discussion saying that the deaths&nbsp;were not due to cold but due to "use of drugs".
This prompted Sharma to counter Alka and make a personal&nbsp;derogatory comment against her.
AAP MLAs immediately voiced their protest over the remarks&nbsp;and rushed into the well of the House shouting slogans and&nbsp;demanding his expulsion.
The Speaker expressed his regret over the incident and&nbsp;suspended Sharma till Thursday.
