New Delhi: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has said that the Lok Sabha will not function without an apology from party president Sonia Gandhi over Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary’s remarks. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury called President Draupadi Murmu as ‘Rashtrapatni’. BJP wants Sonia Gandhi to apologize for the incident.
In response to the BJP’s demand that the Congress and Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary apologize, the opposition also demanded an apology from Union Minister Smriti Irani. When the Lok Sabha met on the 11th, some opposition members, including Congress MPs, came to the center stage and protested. The women members of the BJP also raised noise from the second row near the treasury bench. Kirit Solanki, who was in the chair, tried to pacify the members but failed. The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 12 o’clock due to the commotion of both the groups. Later, the opposition staged a protest in front of the Gandhi statue.
Chowdhury explained that he had a tongue problem and that it happened because Hindi was not his mother tongue. He also said on Thursday that he would apologize directly to the President.
“BJP will never tolerate tribal insults. Lok Sabha will function only if Sonia Gandhi apologizes. Congress has a history of abusing democracy and parliament. In 2012, the Congress sent 10 notices against the then BJP president Rajnath Singh for speaking against the Gandhi family’s trust’ – Dubey said in several tweets.
