AAP has also demanded the immediate reinstatement of the Delhi bus marshals in accordance with the Legislative Assembly resolution.
Bharadwaj said that the protesting bus marshals, who were present in large numbers to seek justice, are experiencing a financial crisis following their dismissal and are struggling to feed their families.
The Minister asked why the LG cannot accept their demands, adding that the protest will continue until the higher authorities agree to meet and reinstate them.

Trouble seems mounting for AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal as an FIR has been registered against him over allegations of misusing public money by putting up large hoardings in the national capital in 2019.
As the protest against the remark intensified, the speaker ordered marshalling the AAP legislators, Vishesh Ravi and Kuldeep Singh, out.
