Row over unparliamentary language: BJP issues show cause notice to party MP Ramesh Bidhuri | India News

NEW DELHI: The BJP has issued a show cause notice to party MP Ramesh Bidhuri on instruction of party president JP Nadda for his use of unparliamentary language against BSP MP Danish Ali, said an ANI report citing sources.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Friday also took “serious note” of certain objectionable remarks made by Bidhuri in the House and warned him of “strict action” if such behaviour is repeated in the future, officials said.

Bidhuri’s remarks targeting Bahujan Samaj Party member Kunwar Danish Ali during a discussion on the “success of Chandrayaan-3” in the Lok Sabha triggered a furore, with opposition leaders calling for strict action against him.

The officials said the speaker has warned the BJP leader of strict action if such behaviour is repeated.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh had expressed regret in the House immediately after Bidhuri made the objectionable remarks on Thursday night.
Let’s see if BJP takes action: Danish Ali
On Bidhuri’s remarks, BSP MP Danish Ali said: “When this is the condition of an elected member like me then what will be the condition of a normal person. I hope, I will get justice, Speaker will conduct an enquiry or else with a heavy heart, I’m also thinking of leaving this Parliament because this can’t be tolerated.”
“They (BJP) just did not insult me and my followers but they insulted the whole nation … now let’s see if the BJP is taking any action against Bidhuri or if he will be promoted and included in the central cabinet of ministers … maybe it has become a competition among BJP leaders to make such statements not just outside but even inside Parliament,” he added.
Congress demands Bidhuri’s suspension
The Congress on Friday took strong objections to Bidhuri’s remarks in the Lok Sabha and demanded his suspension from the House.
Terming the remarks as an insult to all MPs, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the apology offered by Union minister Rajnath Singh was a mere eyewash and not sufficient. Strict action should be taken against him, he demanded.
