BJP MPs have objected to the Trinamool MP's remarks (File)
New Delhi:
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra faces a privilege motion over her remarks in parliament on a former Chief Justice of India, in an apparent rethink after the government earlier indicated it would not pursue any action.
Sources say the ruling BJP decided to proceed with the motion after Mahua Moitra shared video clips on Wednesday of her controversial remarks in the Lok Sabha. PP Chowdhary, a former Minister of State for Law, put in the request for privilege motion. Later, another BJP MP, Nishikant Dubey, also did so.
