New Delhi, March 7 -- Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal appeared before the Delhi assembly's privileges committee on Friday in connection with the "Phansi Ghar" controversy, and later accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government of attempting to "insult the martyrs" by portraying the historic "execution chamber" as a "tiffin room". Besides Kejriwal, former Delhi speaker Ram Niwas Goel and then deputy speaker Rakhi Birla also appeared before the committee. However, former deputy CM Manish Sisodia skipped the proceedings again, officials said. After the meeting, Kejriwal told reporters that it was the efforts of then speaker Goel in 2022 that brought to light the existence of a "Phansi Ghar" on the assembly premises, where the British allegedly executed freedom fighters. "Delhi is reeling under rising water bills, contaminated water, increased school fees and a pollution crisis, but the government is not discussing these issues," the former CM said. He said since the BJP came to power in Delhi, it has been trying to prove that the chamber was not a "Phansi Ghar" but a "tiffin room". He said Goel had decided to inaugurate the "Phansi Ghar" only after conducting a full inquiry. "I asked the committee to tell me what evidence they have that it was a tiffin room. They have no evidence. This clearly means that they are deliberately trying to insult freedom fighters by claiming that it was a tiffin room," he said....
