They added that they will oppose the formation of a committee on the project as announced by the Mayor in the House. Bunty also demanded a special session for a detailed discussion on the auction of the land in Manimajra, as there is a possibility of misuse of public money and assets.

He alleged that the voice of the opposition leaders was suppressed by the ruling party as they were not allowed to raise their demands. They had been removed from the House by marshals during the last two meetings, he said, adding that the attitude of the ruling party was undemocratic.
