Bidhuri matter referred to Privileges Committee
September 28, 2023

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has referred MPs' complaints on the issue involving Bharatiya Janata Party member Ramesh Bidhuri's use of objectionable words against Bahujan Samaj Party's Danish Ali to the Privileges Committee, sources said on Thursday.

While Ali and several other opposition MPs, including Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's Kanimozhi, demanded action against Bidhuri, several BJP parliamentarians like Nishikant Dubey said the BSP member 'incited' the South Delhi MP when he speaking in the House and urged the Speaker to look into this aspect as well. 

Sources said the Chair has sent all these complaints to the Privileges Committee headed by BJP MP Sunil Kumar Singh.

In a post on X, Dubey thanked the Speaker for referring the matter to the committee.

"It was possible because the BJP has a majority in Lok Sabha," he said, as he cited several previous incidents to assert that no committee was formed to probe these issues and nor was anyone punished.

In this context, Dubey alleged that the Rashtriya Janata Dal-Janata Dal (United)-Congress members were engaged in a fight involving shoes and microphones in 2006, Sonia Gandhi was involved in an incident in 2012 besides the commotion and injuries to parliamentarians in 2014 during the creation of Telangana as a separate state.   -- PTI
