New Delhi, 22 September: Danish Ali, a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP from Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Friday, demanding to hand over the matter of the use of indecent language by BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri in the House to the Privileges Committee.
Ali, in his letter to Birla demanding an immediate investigation into the matter, said, “I am writing with deep pain regarding the speech given by a BJP MP, Ramesh Bidhuri, in the Lok Sabha during the discussion on ‘Chandrayaan Success’. He uttered very dirty, derogatory abuses against me, which are part of the record of the Lok Sabha.”
In the letter, the BSP MP has mentioned the objectionable words used by Bidhuri against him.
Ali said, ‘This is extremely unfortunate, and the fact that this happened in the new Parliament House under your leadership as Speaker is truly heartbreaking for me as a minority member of this great nation and an elected Member of Parliament. ‘
The BSP MP said, ‘I request you to refer this matter to the Privileges Committee under Rule 227 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business of the Lok Sabha for investigation, inquiry, and report.’
The MP said that ‘this is the only way to discipline an experienced member so that the environment of our country does not deteriorate further. “I request you to please order an investigation into this matter,” he said.
Bidhuri made some objectionable comments targeting Ali during the discussion in the Lok Sabha on the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on Thursday night. The remarks were expunged from the parliamentary record, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh immediately expressed regret for Bidhuri’s behaviour in the House.
