Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MP Sanjay Raut said that the language used against Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Danish Ali is not only unparliamentary but also a blot on the country’s cultural heritage.
“The language used against Danish Ali is not only unparliamentary. It is a blot on the country’s cultural heritage and its foundation,” Sanjay Raut said.
Raut said that while Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ramesh Bidhuri has been given a “notice” in other instances, opposition MPs are suspended. “He (Bidhuri) is a Parliamentarian. He has been given a notice but in our case it is suspension. For using the word ‘betrayer’ they have called for a Privilege Motion against me in Rajya Sabha,” Raut said. On Rajnath Singh’s apology following Bidhuri’s unparliamentary words, Raut said, “If Rajnath Singh had apologised it means that he is from the old school of the BJP. He is a veteran politician and worked along with Atalji. He represents the old cultural BJP, not the new one. So he thought that it was wrong and hence apologised.” “But some ex-Ministers were sitting along with him (Bidhuri), one of them is the ex-Law Minister, our friend Ravi Shankar Prasad ji and Dr Harshvardhan were laughing. Have they also lost their mind? BJP is a degrading force and they will also degrade the country,” Raut said.
Speaking on the Janata Dal (Secular) party joining hands with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Sanjay Raut said, “I don’t think it is challenging.
