Lucknow: The BJP's Pilibhit MP Varun Gandhi was today slammed in the
Uttar Pradesh assembly for his allegedly intemperate remarks against
Sharad Pawar and Mayawati recently over price rise with Congress and
SP members terming them as 'undemocratic' and demanding stern
punishment for him.
The Congress legislature party leader Pramod Tewari, who raised the
issue through a point of propriety, said that the BJP MP's
"derogatory" remarks undermined democratic traditions and values.
Citing precedents in similar cases, Tewari demanded that the Pilibhit
MP be summoned in the House and subjected to strict punishment after
taking the views of the advocate general. Speaking on the occasion,
Ambika Chaudhary and Riyaz Ahmed of the Samajwadi Party also called
for stern punishment to anyone using intemperate language which
creates hatred and casts aspersions on the Leader of the House.
Coming to Varun's defence, BJP MLA Om Prakash Singh though stressing
that no one should use unparlaimentary language, said Tewari had taken
note of only newspaper reports and named people who were not members
of the House.
Parliamentary affairs minister Lalji Verma said as per the
Constitution no one had the right to use "foul" language against
anyone and supported the demand for action against anyone using such
words.
However, the Speaker Sukhdev Rajbhar reserved his ruling on saying
that the issue needed to be looked into as the position was not clear.
At a public meeting in Bulandshahr on Saturday, Varun held both Union
agriculture minister Sharad Pawar and UP CM Mayawati responsible for
the rising food prices terming them as 'Ravan' and 'Surpnakha'
respectively.
