Oppositions demand PM Modi Modi's statement over abusive minister issue
The Opposition demanded that the abusive minister should be sacked immediately from the Union cabinet. “The PM must answer,” chanted angry opposition leaders in Parliament.
Union minister of state for food processing, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti on Monday had said: “You have to decide. Do you want a government of Ramzaadon (followers of Ram) or (those who are illegitimate)?”
Jyoti also criticized Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son-in-law Robert Vadra’s controversial land deals. “The son of an ordinary family, who sold utensils, Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law, how did this man become a millionaire? They robbed the poor,” he said.
Jyoti debuted in the general elections held in May this year and won from Uttar Pradesh. She was one of the six BJP MPs in-charge the party’s campaign for the Delhi polls scheduled early next year.
Following Jyoti’s abusive remarks, Pm Modi on Tuesday also warned his lawmaker not to speak “out of turn”.
Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party (SP) demanded motion in the House condemning the incident on Wednesday. The Opposition leaders also demand that Jyoti should be in jail.
