The uproar started when Deputy Speaker Mohan Singh Bisht objected to the T-shirts worn by the AAP MLAs inside the Assembly.

"The opposition disrupted the discussion going on in the assembly of public interest, hence, they are being marshalled out," Gupta said.

Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh requested Gupta to remove the AAP MLAs from the proceedings as they were not listening to repeated requests.
