Muslim MP, Abused In Parliament, Counters BJP's Provocation Charge

New Delhi: Amid a controversy around a viral video purportedly showing BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri hurling communal slurs at BSP MP Danish Ali during Lok Sabha proceedings earlier this week, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Saturday said the Lok Sabha Speaker should also probe the "unsavoury" conduct of Ali. Taking to X, Dubey wrote, “The Lok Sabha Speaker should also probe the unsavoury remarks and conduct of Danish Ali. Under Lok Sabha rules, obstructing another MP during the time allotted to him, speaking while sitting and giving a running commentary also call for punishment.”

Dubey claimed that the BSP leader made "highly objectionable and blasphemous" remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his unsavoury" conduct was more than enough to make any “patriotic public representative lose his calm and fall into his trap by uttering unsavoury words."

He also alleged that TMC and DMK members made remarks about faith of another community.

In a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Dubey wrote, “I, therefore, request you to constitute an 'Inquiry Committee' to investigate the utterances made by various members during the said discussion and also to inquire the extent of culpability of various other members of Parliament in instigating our citizens by way of their comments made in the House.”
