UK Delegation Visits Delhi Assembly, Witness Heated Debate
A group of people from the British Parliament, including Nusrat Ghani, visited the Delhi Assembly to learn about how it works.
They watched a meeting and talked about how India and the UK can work together, like trading goods.
While they were there, there was a disagreement about a room in the Assembly building.
The BJP said the room was for meals, but the AAP previously said it was an execution room.
