Bidhuri remarks row: Danish Ali writes to PM Modi, calls for 'suitable punishment' to BJP MP

BSP MP Danish Ali has written to Prime Minister Modi on Friday seeking protection after being abused with communal slurs by BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri during a parliamentary debate.

Ali also asked the PM to take action against Bidhuri.

In the letter, Ali asked Modi to “break his silence” and take steps towards “upholding and protecting parliamentary decorum”.

He also said that another BJP MP, Nishikant Dubey, falsely blamed him for provoking Bidhuri.

“In your capacity as the Leader of the House and the PM of our great nation, I trust that you would find it deeply concerning that MP Ramesh Bidhuri resorted to using unparliamentary and abusive language,” Ali wrote.

“As you must be aware, the situation has significantly worsened since September 21, 2023, and it has cast a shadow over the parliamentary decorum and democratic functioning of our esteemed House of which I am privileged to be a member,” he added.
