New Delhi, September 22, 2023 (PPI-OT): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament from South Delhi, Ramesh Bidhuri, hurled several Islamophobic profanities at Bahujan Samaj Party (SP) MP Danish Ali in the Lok Sabha during the Special Session.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the exchange took place while Bidhuri was addressing the House on the success of Chandrayaan-3 mission.
Amid a heated exchange over Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi allegedly taking credit for the mission, Bidhuri used words like ugrawaadi (militant), aatankwadi (terrorist), Mulla (slur used for Muslims), Bhadwa (pimp), and Katwa (circumcised) for the BSP MP from Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha.
While the ruckus over his remarks erupted, Bidhuri seemed unfazed and went on using derogatory language while former Union Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan could be seen smiling next to him.
“Bahar phenko iss mulle KO (throw this Muslim out),” Bidhuri said at one point.
The remarks were expunged by Congress leader Kodikunnil Suresh who was in the chair.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Friday warned Bidhuri of ‘strict action’ if he repeated such behaviour in the future, Indian media reported quoting officials.
Bidhuri himself has not issued an apology for his comments so far.
