The Delhi Assembly's 'Phansi Ghar' (gallows chamber) has become the center of a heated political dispute, with the BJP-led Privilege Committee summoning former AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia. The controversy focuses on whether the structure, inaugurated in 2022, is an authentic historical site or a fabricated representation that misused public funds. While the BJP claims historical distortion, AAP defends the site's significance in representing India's colonial past.
