The Rajya Sabha Committee of Privileges has been asked to examine a complaint of Opposition MPs against VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi for her controversial "terrorists in Parliament" remarks, with Chairman Hamid Ansari referring the matter to it.

"Members are informed that Chairman, Rajya Sabha has (on Thursday) referred a question of breach of privilege arising out of the complaint of Naresh Agrawal and other Members of Rajya Sabha pertaining to alleged derogatory remarks against Members of Parliament by Sadhvi Prachi, a leader of a religious organisation, to the Committee of Privileges," a bulletin of the Upper House said.

The matter has been referred to the Committee under rule 203 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Rajya Sabha for examination, investigation and report.

Opposition MPs had on August 7 sought breach of privilege proceedings against the VHP leader for her controversial "terrorists in Parliament" remarks, and gave a notice to Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari in this regard.
