BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri Calls BSP’s Danish Ali ‘Terrorist’ in Lok Sabha; Rajnath Singh Expresses Regret – News18

BJP MP from South Delhi Ramesh Bidhuri on Thursday called Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Danish Ali a “terrorist” in the Lok Sabha.

The BJP leader’s remark came during the discussion on the success of Chandrayaan-3. “Yeh ugrawaaadi (militant), Yeh aatankwaadi hai, ugrawaadi hai, Yeh aantankwaadi (terrorist) hai,” Bidhuri said.

Danish Ali represents Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha constituency in Lok Sabha.

Defence Minister and Deputy Leader of the Lok Sabha Rajnath Singh expressed regret over Bidhur’s remarks.

Singh said he had not heard the remarks and urged the Chair to delete them from the proceedings if they have hurt the opposition members. Congress member K Suresh, who was in the Chair, said he had already directed the officials to expunge the remarks.

“I express regret if the opposition is hurt by the remarks made by the member,” the defence minister said. Singh’s gesture was appreciated by the members by thumping the desks.

Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the lunar south pole on August 23, propelling India to an exclusive club of four and making it the first country to land on the uncharted surface.

The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the women’s reservation bill with 454 members supporting it and two opposing it.
