"The incident that happened in the Assembly today is a matter of concern. A few days ago, when the Assembly was in session, Rekha Gupta and Vijender Gupta received threatening emails. What kind of power is this? Attempts are being made to derail the development works that are underway under Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. Delhi Police should take immediate action. Strictest action should be taken on these continuous incidents. I strongly condemn the kind of incident that has happened. I demand from the Delhi Police that the security of the Assembly should be increased," he told ANI.
