A day after Opposition parties’ floor leaders in Parliament flooded Speaker Om Birla with letters supporting Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Danish Ali’s demand that BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri’s communal slurs against him be referred to the privileges committee, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey in turn wrote to the Speaker, asking that the “unsavoury conduct” of Mr. Ali also be probed.
Apart from accusing Mr. Ali of keeping up a “running commentary” while Mr. Bidhuri was making his speech during a discussion on India’s Chandrayaan-III mission, Mr. Dubey alleged that that the BSP MP made a “highly objectionable and blasphemous” remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
