BSP MP Kunwar Danish Ali said he is considering "leaving" Parliament if no action is taken against BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri for using communal slurs against him in Lok Sabha. Danish Ali said Bidhuri directed "foul, abusive invectives" against him, which is unparalleled. In a letter to the Speaker, he sought action against Bidhuri under breach of privilege rules. He said Bidhuri's remarks have shamed the country and are a threat. Speaker Om Birla warned Bidhuri of severe action and expunged his comments. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh expressed regret but the opposition demanded Bidhuri's suspension or arrest. Danish Ali said if this can happen to an MP, what will happen to a common man. He questioned if hate speech is what's taught in the "laboratory of new India".
