BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, on Tuesday (February 4, 2025), moved privilege motion against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
Mr. Dubey wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and requested him for initiating ‘privilege proceedings’ against Mr. Gandhi.
In his letter to the Speaker, Mr. Dubey said “Rahul Gandhi not only shamelessly distorted the historical and substantive facts but also made an attempt to ridicule our country and lowering the prestige of our Republic.”
Mr. Dubey said that “Rahul Gandhi, in his speech on the floor of the House, has inter alia raised six issues viz. the mobile phones are not made in India but only assembled in India; forcibly capturing of vast land on the Eastern Regions of our country by China; our country was not invited by U.S. during the swearing-in ceremony of HE Mr. Donald Trump as the President; recent election to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, appointment of Chief Election Commissioner/Election Commissioners in the Election Commission of India; and the caste-based census.”
He also mentioned that “Mr. Gandhi may also be reprimanded in the current session of Parliament by way of a motion in terms of relevant provisions of the Rules of Procedure. I may also be allowed to raise this issue in the House in terms of Rule(s) 222-223 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha.”
Speaking during the motion of thanks to the President speech, Mr. Gandhi had criticised government handling in India-China border, Donald Trump inauguration and others.
