In a dramatic turn of events, AAP MLA Hemant Ahir from Jamjodhpur constituency in Jamnagar district was evicted from the Gujarat Assembly on Tuesday after he refused to remove a protest sticker from his t-shirt. The sticker, which read “Khoti Jamin Mapni Radd Karo” (Cancel Faulty Land Mapping) in Gujarati, was a direct criticism of the state's land survey system.
Ahir entered the Assembly during the Question Hour, wearing the t-shirt with the visible protest sticker. Speaker Shankar Chaudhary immediately took notice and pointed out that such displays of protest are against the rules of the Gujarat Assembly.
When Ahir was asked to either remove the sticker or leave the House, he argued that he was only trying to draw attention to the issues affecting farmers, particularly the faulty land mapping. However, the Speaker firmly stated that the Assembly's rules did not permit such forms of protest and ordered Ahir to either change his t-shirt or leave the session.
Despite continuing his arguments, Ahir was eventually evicted from the House when he did not comply with the Speaker’s order. The Speaker made it clear that no further arguments would be entertained, especially during Question Hour, and reiterated his directive to Ahir.
The incident highlighted the tension between protest actions and parliamentary decorum, with Ahir’s stance centered on raising awareness about issues faced by farmers in Gujarat.
