BJP MP expresses regret over objectionable remark against Danish Ali: Sources

BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri on Thursday said he regretted his 'objectionable' remarks against Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Danish Ali made during a Lok Sabha session on September 21, according to sources.

During a meeting of the Lok Sabha Privileges Committee today, which heard both leaders separately, Bidhuri also said Union minister Rajnath Singh had conveyed his regret in the House for the BJP MP's statements.

The committee had called Ramesh Bidhuri (for using an anti-Muslim slur) and Danish Ali (for improper conduct during Chandrayaan-2 discussion in the House) to give oral evidence on December 7.
