Opposition MPs confronted Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the Lok Sabha and threw copies of the three bills, which seek to remove the Prime Minister or Chief Ministers who are facing allegations of corruption or serious offences and have been detained for 30 consecutive days.
Some Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs came to Shah’s chair and allegedly tried to push Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju. Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu allegedly got into a scuffle with them.
TMC Kalyan Banerjee alleged that Bittu pushed one of the opposition women MPs. “None of our MPs pushed any BJP MPs," he claimed.
TMC MP Mitali Bag alleged that Rijiju and Bittu attacked her inside the Lower House of Parliament. “Rijiju and Bittu suddenly attacked her. First, Bittu attacked me, then Rijiju," she added.
Meanwhile, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal demanded action against opposition MPs. “The entire country was watching how there was hooliganism…When the Home Minister has told the Speaker that the Bills should be sent to the JPC, there is no haste…But Congress MP KC Venugopal started tearing up copies of the Bills and throwing them to the Chair of the Speaker; TMC and Congress MPs entered the Well, they were adamant to pick up a fight…The more it is condemned, the less it is…Speaker should take action," he said.
After the proceedings resumed in the Lok Sabha, Speaker Om Birla said that this behaviour of MPs is not acceptable.
“The whole country is watching you. A very important bill for our country. It’s a bill about principles. I am warning you to mend your way," he added.
