BJP's Nishikant Dubey Backs Motion Against Rahul Gandhi

On Friday, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey expressed his support for a privilege motion initiated by Anurag Thakur against Rahul Gandhi, citing the latter's alleged unparliamentary statements. Dubey remarked that Gandhi has a history of making baseless and nonsensical comments. Speaking to reporters, he accused Congress members of losing their composure due to being out of power for twelve years, asserting that this privilege motion stems from that mindset.

Concerns Over Gandhi's Statements

Dubey emphasized that Gandhi is known for making unfounded and absurd remarks, a habit he has maintained for a long time. He attributed Gandhi's current mindset to Congress's prolonged absence from power, suggesting that without authority, Congress members appear to be losing their grip. He urged the Lok Sabha Speaker to take action, noting that since Rahul Gandhi became the opposition leader, at least fifteen privilege motions have been pending.

Details of the Privilege Motion

These comments from Dubey came after BJP MP Anurag Singh Thakur filed a notice against Rahul Gandhi during the Lok Sabha proceedings on July 29, accusing him of using unparliamentary language. In his notice, Thakur claimed that Gandhi employed disrespectful and inappropriate language while addressing the house, even after being warned by the chair.

Allegations of Unparliamentary Language

The notice stated that Gandhi's use of unparliamentary language violated Rule 352. He allegedly categorized people into three groups during a discussion about a student: 'students', 'fools', and 'blind followers'. The latter two terms were directed at citizens, particularly political opponents and supporters of the government. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju immediately objected, requesting the removal of these terms from the proceedings, yet Gandhi repeated them despite the chair's warning.
