BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri who had been served notice on the instruction of party’s President JP Nadda met the latter on Monday. He was served a showcause notice after a vulgar outburst in the Lok Sabha which was caught on camera and fiercely condemned by the opposition.

Meanwhile on Sunday, the Bharatiya Janata Party denied to comment on his use of anti-Muslim slurs. Following a day after he was publicly abused, MP Danish Ali told NDTV that he had been unable to sleep and was on the verge of a mental breakdown. The BSP MP also added that he was considering quitting the Parliament if no action is taken against Ramesh Bidhuri.

On Sunday, MP Ali was targeted by another BJP MP, Nishikant Dubey, over allegations he had used casteist slurs against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that he feared the comment was to provoke his physical lynching outside the Parliament since the verbal lynching had already begun.

Speaking on the matter, Danish Ali stated that BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker is to create a narrative pertaining to his lynching outside Parliament as his verbal lynching already took place. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey had demanded the Speaker to investigate Mr Ali’s indecent words and conduct. Nishikant Dubey’s demand was backed by a third BJP MP.

In addition, BJP MP Ravi Kisan Shukla on Sunday also wrote to the Speaker and demanded an inquiry into Danish Ali’s unparliamentary acts and language. In his letter, Ravi Shukla blamed Ramesh Bidhuri’s quite inappropriate comments on continuous heckling and disturbance by Danish Ali.

On the day of the incident, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla took serious note of the foul language and warned the BJP MP of strict action if the behaviour is repeated. On the other hand, opposition MP’s were quick to point out that non-BJP lawmakers had been suspended or even barred from a full session for less horrific remarks. 

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also came out in support of Danish Ali. The BSP MP was verbally abused during the discussion of the success of Chandrayaan 3 in the Lok Sabha.
