New Delhi, 10th Feb. Nishikant Dubey, a Lok Sabha MP, has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla demanding action against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for “breach of privilege” after he made allegations in the Lower House linking industrialist Gautam Adani to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to Dubey, Gandhi made “unverified, incriminatory, and defamatory” statements about PM Modi in violation of the rules.
“These statements are misleading, derogatory, indecent, unparliamentary and incriminatory in nature to the dignity of the House and Hon’ble Prime Minister being a Member of Lok Sabha,” said Dubey.
“Shri Rahul Gandhi despite making a statement in the House that he would provide documentary evidence has not submitted any duly authenticated document supporting his statements,” he said.
The MP called it a “violation of the House’s privileges” and “contempt of the House,” and urged the Speaker to take action against Rahul Gandhi immediately for breach of privilege.
On Tuesday, during the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address, Rahul Gandhi claimed that Gautam Adani’s fortunes skyrocketed after the BJP came to power in 2014, and leveled a slew of allegations at Modi. Some of his comments were later removed from the Chair.
The treasury benches reacted angrily to the Congress leader’s remarks, with Law Minister Kiren Rijiju asking him not to make “wild allegations” and to provide proof of his claims.
