NDTV
"I have submitted a privilege notice to the Lok Sabha secretariat against (Rahul) Gandhi for his comments relating to the 'Union and its Territories," BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Thursday submitted a privilege notice to the Lok Sabha secretariat against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for attempting to "incite" MPs and the nation at large through his remarks during the debate in the House on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address.
Noting that while every MP has a constitutional right to speak in Parliament and express his/her views on various topics, he said it is also one of the foremost duties of every member to maintain decency and should not speak anything that would lower the dignity of Parliament and categorised as 'Contempt of the House'.
"I have submitted a privilege notice to the Lok Sabha secretariat against (Rahul) Gandhi for his comments relating to the 'Union and its Territories," Mr Dubey told PTI.
"In his speech, he has uttered that 'India is described as a Union of States and India is not described as a Nation. He has further correlated this with making a hollow, baseless and childish prophecy that the people of Tamil Nadu, etc., would never allow themselves to be ruled by the present Government/Party'."
