The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs on Tuesday staged a walk-out of the House here on Tuesday amid sloganeering, seeking immediate removal of DGP Dinkar Gupta and  Cabinet Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu.Leader of Opposition, Harpal Singh Cheema cornered Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh over the burning issues, but no plausible  answers could satisfy the AAP leaders.They maintained their aggressive stance over the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh's giving 'clean chit' to DGP Dinkar Gupta and  cabinet Minister Bharat  Bhushan Ashu.Talking to media persons after the walkout,  Cheema alleged that there were umpteen criminal cases pending against Ashu, including the  bomb blast in Ludhiana’s Gur Mandi area, blind murder of three women, hatching a conspiracy with terrorist to assassinate his ‘taya’ (paternal uncle), saying that all those cases  be reopened for trial on the basis of Ashu's own confessional statement.Cheema, reiterating his demand, said the state DGP should be immediately sacked for his highly  insensitive statement against the venerable spot where the first Sikh master Guru Nanak Dev had spent his last days, alleging that the DGP,  whose pictures with Pakistani  woman Arusa Alam were going viral on social media, adding that it appeared if she was actually running the Punjab government. Cheema said that those who were indulging in  hate propaganda over the historic Sri Kartarpur Sahib corridor should come and explain on what basis Arusha Alam was staying in Punjab?. Others who were a part of the  walkout  included Aman Arora, Kultar Singh Sandhwan, Prof. Baljinder Kaur, Sarabjit Kaur Manuke, Principal Budh Ram, Jai Krishan Singh Rauri, Kulwant Singh Pandori, Rupinder  Kaur Ruby, Manjit Singh Bilaspur and Master Baldev Singh (All MLAs).
