Rahul Gandhi Told To Respond To Notices On Remarks On PM Modi
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has been asked by the Lok Sabha Secretariat to respond by February 15 to notices from BJP members regarding his remarks in the House about Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The secretariat asked Gandhi to respond by February 15 to breach of privilege notices issued against him by BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey and Pralhad Joshi, also the parliamentary affairs minister, for the Lok Sabha speaker's consideration in a letter dated February 10.
Dubey and Joshi had filed notices against Gandhi following his Tuesday "Motion of Thanks on the President's Address," in which he commented on the Hindenburg-Adani controversy.
In their notices to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, both leaders of the BJP claimed that Gandhi's remarks were without foundation and that he made allegations that were "contemptuous, unparliamentary, and dishonorable."
