New Delhi: Samajwadi Party (SP) Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan on Monday asked the Speaker to be “fair” and not favor any particular party, news agency ANI reported.
He cursed the Treasury Bench saying, “Your bad days are going to come very soon” (Your bad days will come very soon).
Jaya Bachchan made these remarks when the Chair asked her to participate in the ongoing discussion on the ‘Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Amendment) Bill, 2021’.
Beginning his speech, the Samajwadi Party MP first called on the Speaker for not listening to the opposition.
“Can we expect from you? What is happening? We are discussing several issues on the bill brought by the government to rectify its mistake.
“Aap gala ghont dijiye hum sabka (you please strangulate us),” she added, as quoted by ANI.
Jaya Bachchan further said from the Chair: “You should be impartial and not support any particular party”.
BJP MP Rakesh Sinha courted controversy after accusing Jaya Bachchan of pointing to the chair. Samajwadi Party leaders also wanted the Speaker to take action against the members accusing them of making “personal remarks”.
However, a bench headed by Bhuvneshwar Kalita declared that the comments which were not appropriate would be omitted from the record. Kalita adjourned the house till 5 pm as the situation was out of control.
