Amid the political row over BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri’s derogatory remarks against Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) member Danish Ali in the Lok Sabha, the BJP and the Opposition INDIA bloc on Saturday engaged in a battle of letters on the sanctity of, and decorum in, Parliament.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla raising several instances of “unsavoury remarks” that Opposition leaders had made in the House and sought the constitution of an “inquiry committee to investigate the utterances” during the discussion on Chandrayaan-3’s success. Dubey said the committee should look into “the extent of culpability” of MPs who “instigate other citizens” with their comments in the House.
