Danish Ali seeks inquiry by Speaker into ‘baseless allegations’ by BJP leader Nishikant Dubey

Bahujan Samaj Party MP Danish Ali on Sunday alleged that after his “verbal lynching” by BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri in the Lok Sabha, a narrative was being set for “lynching” him outside the House. He was responding to BJP leader Nishikant Dubey, who accused him of making “unsavoury” remarks to instigate Mr. Bidhuri.

Mr. Bidhuri's derogatory remarks targeting Mr. Ali during a discussion on the success of Chandrayaan-3 in the Lok Sabha on Thursday have sparked a furore, with Opposition leaders calling for stringent action against the BJP MP.

Mr. Dubey had, on Saturday, written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, urging him to also probe the alleged "unsavoury" conduct and remarks of Mr. Ali, alleging that the BSP MP had made "highly objectionable and blasphemous" remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi that had provoked Mr. Bidhuri.
