AAP MLA enters into scuffle with BJP legislators

The scuffle broke out inside the Assembly premises when Malik allegedly made some remarks against a particular community that enraged the BJP MLAs who charged at him and pushed him on a table. Soon after the House was adjourned.

Malik was first involved in a verbal fight with PDP workers over his remarks against former Chief Minister and PDP leader Mufti Mohammed Sayeed.

PDP worker lashed out at him for his use of alleged derogatory language against Sayeed. Security personnel deployed for the Assembly's security prevented a physical clash between the AAP MLA and PDP workers.

Malik then hit out at the security wing for allowing PDP workers inside the Assembly complex.

He also accused the police of acting like PDP workers and alleged that the police had failed to take action against those who should have been arrested for allegedly assaulting an MLA.

Thereafter, Malik entered into a duel with the BJP MLAs, including Vikram Randhawa and Yudhvir Sethi. In the melee, Malik fell on a table which broke while the shirt of a BJP MLA was torn in the clash with him.

Malik was then escorted into the House by the Watch and Ward staff, accompanied by NC members. BJP members tried to charge at him again when he was being taken into the House but were held back after intervention of some NC members.

"I want action against the SP Security. I want the arrest of the PDP men. PDP and BJP are together in this war against me. I do not want anyone's support. I will sit in the House and seek a reply from the Speaker," Malik said in the House to NC members.

The BJP members claimed that Malik used unparliamentary language against their leaders.
