BJP women MPs write to Speaker Om Birla, slam Oppn for throwing papers & entering well of House
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) women MPs backed Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, while slamming the Opposition MPs for the alleged “unfortunate incident” of throwing papers at the Chair and entering the Well of the House during the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address.
The BJP MPs wrote to Speaker Birla alleging that Opposition women MPs “surrounded the Prime Minister’s seat” and later aggressively approached the Speaker’s chamber on February 4.
They urged the Speaker to take “the strongest possible action” against the MPs involved in the alleged incident.
This came as a response to women MPs from Congress’ letter to Om Birla alleging that the ruling party forced him to make “false, baseless, and defamatory” claims against them.
The BJP MPs wrote that the nation witnessed an “unfortunate and regrettable incident” inside the Lok Sabha Chamber, when “members of opposition parties not only enter the Well of the House, but also climb onto the tables, tear up papers, and throw them towards the Speaker.”
