New Delhi December 06, 22024: The Congress on Friday moved a privilege motion against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs Nishikant Dubey and Sambit Patra over their remarks against Lok Sabha leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi.

“We moved a privilege motion against BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and Sambit Patra. Today we wanted a ruling from the Speaker but the Question Hour was adjourned...The person against whom the privilege motion was moved, was again permitted to speak in the Parliament,” Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi was quoted by ANI as saying.

“This is a part of a conspiracy to not let the parliament function. They are scared of the Adani issue and are running away from it,” the Congress leader added.

Congress MP KC Venugopal too hit out at the Centre, saying,"We are witnessing a bulldozing attitude of the government to suppress the move of the opposition. Yesterday one of the members gave a very derogatory remark against LoP and another member of the House and Congress party."

"Another member gave a derogatory remark outside parliament. Congress party has given a privilege motion against both of the leaders...While we are giving the complaint against derogatory remarks of the member, the same member is allowed to do the same thing today...The speaker is under the total pressure of the government," the party general secretary added.
