Dog-Counting Row Disrupts Day 2 of Delhi Assembly Winter Session

Tensions are rising as pollution protests collide with the government's plan to spotlight CAG findings.

Overview

  • Proceedings were adjourned twice after BJP MLAs demanded an apology from AAP over claims that government school teachers were told to count stray dogs.
  • The Speaker referred the complaint on the dog-counting allegation to the Assembly’s standing committee on education, and Delhi Police registered an FIR over false and misleading social media posts.
  • Four AAP MLAs — Sanjeev Jha, Som Dutt, Kuldeep Kumar and Jarnail Singh — remain suspended for the rest of the session after disrupting the Lieutenant Governor’s address on Day 1.
  • AAP legislators continued mask protests over hazardous air, accusing the government of manipulating AQI data and failing to enforce GRAP, as ministers countered that the opposition is avoiding debate.
  • The government signalled a focus on accountability with CAG reports slated for tabling on the Kejriwal residence renovation, Delhi Jal Board finances and college funding, alongside passage of a court-fee refund amendment and an agenda centered on infrastructure, the Yamuna and a year‑round pollution plan.
