Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ram Prasad Sharma on Wednesday came to the Parliament on a horse in protest against the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government's Odd-Even rule.
BJP MP Paresh Rawal had earlier on Monday violated the Odd-Even rule by reaching the Parliament in his even-numbered car following which he apologised to the Delhi Chief Minister.
"Made a serious blunder by travelling in an odd number car to parliament ... Sorry to Arvind ji n Delhiite...," the actor-politician tweeted.
Rawal later tweeted a challan copy, saying he has paid a fine for violating the Odd-Even rule.
The Odd-Even rules, whose violation attract a penalty of Rs 2,000 under provisions of Motor Vehicles Act, are applicable between 8 am and 8 pm except on Sundays.
