The Committee of Privileges of the Delhi Assembly on Tuesday (January 6, 2026) submitted a report recommending the Assembly to take "proper action" against AAP chief and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and others. The issue is linked to the inauguration of a "fake" phansi ghar (execution room) within the Assembly premises. The Committee pointed out that Mr. Kejriwal, along with Shri Ram Niwas Goel, Shri Manish Sisodia, and Smt. Rakhi Birla, were willfully absent from important Committee sittings scheduled for November 13 and 20, 2025, without valid permission or reason. The report stated, "The Committee recommends that the House may take proper action as deemed fit against Shri Arvind Kejriwal, Shri Ram Niwas Goel, Shri Manish Sisodia and Smt. Rakhi Birla for their wilful absence from the sittings of the Committee of Privileges which were scheduled for November 13, 2025 and November 20, 2025 without just cause or permission of the Committee." Speaker Vijender Gupta confirmed that the issue will be discussed on Wednesday (January 7, 2026). The controversy began in August when Mr. Gupta claimed there was no "phansi ghar" in Assembly premises and that crores of rupees had been spent on this "fake" structure and its advertising. Consequently, he referred the matter to the Committee for inquiry.
