Chaos erupted when the Opposition raised objections after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey was permitted to speak during Zero Hour to complete his controversial remarks from Thursday, despite a privilege motion against him being under consideration.
The Congress had moved a privilege motion against Dubey and BJP MP Sambit Patra for making "derogatory remarks" inside and outside the House. The Congress alleged that Speaker Om Birla was under pressure from the government.
Birla didn't comment on the matter since he wasn't chairing the Zero Hour when the unrest happened.
"Yesterday, one member made a derogatory remark against the Leader of Opposition and another member of the House, and the Congress. Another member made a derogatory remark outside Parliament. The Congress party has submitted a privilege motion against both leaders. While we are filing a complaint regarding the derogatory remarks made by one member, the same member is allowed to repeat such remarks today. The speaker is under total pressure from the government," Congress MP KC Venugopal told reporters outside Parliament.
