Ramesh Bidhuri, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Lok Sabha, attacked Danish Ali, a member of the Bahujan Samaj Party, with violent anti-Muslim remarks on Thursday night (September 21). The Lok Sabha proceedings, including Bidhuri’s remarks, were broadcast on television.
Following that, Moitra sent out two tweets in which she criticized Speaker Om Birla for taking inconsistent action against Bhiduri. Even though Rajnath Singh, the deputy leader of the Lok Sabha and the defense minister, “expressed regret” over Bidhuri’s words, the BJP has not retaliated against him. In addition to claiming he had not heard the member’s statements, Singh remarked, “I express regret if the remarks made by the member are hurtful to the opposition.”

According to PTI, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla threatened Bidhuri with “strict action” if this occurred once more but made no mention of the measures taken this time.
Ali has written to Birla requesting that the Lok Sabha Privileges Committee be notified about Bidhuri’s remarks. As a minority citizen of this great country and an elected citizen of Parliament, he said the incident was “most unfortunate” and that the fact that it took place in a new parliament building under your leadership as Speaker was “truly heartbreaking for me.”
