Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) women MPs on Tuesday supported Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla while criticising Opposition MPs over the alleged “unfortunate incident” during the Motion of Thanks discussion on the President’s Address.
The BJP MPs wrote to the Speaker alleging that Opposition women MPs surrounded the Prime Minister’s seat and later aggressively approached the Speaker’s chamber on February
4. They urged him to take the strongest possible action against those involved.
In their letter, BJP MPs said Opposition members entered the Well of the House, climbed on tables, tore papers and threw them towards the Chair.
They added they felt deeply provoked but refrained from reacting on instructions from senior leaders, calling it one of the darkest moments in parliamentary democracy.
