Govt not to bring motion against Rahul
 
NEW DELHI :
 
UNION Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Friday that the Government has shelved a plan to bring a motion against Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for using unparliamentary language against the Prime Minister, as a BJP MP has submitted a notice to initiate a “substantive motion” against the Congress leader on the same issue. Speaking to reporters here, the Union Minister stated that the Speaker would be consulted on whether to send the matter to the House privilege committee, the ethics committee, or bring it directly to the Lok Sabha. “It has not yet been decided,” he said. He noted that since a private member has already submitted a notice for the motion, the Government will refrain from introducing its own motion. BJP MP Nishikant said on Thursday that he has given a notice to initiate a “substantive motion” against Gandhi, demanding the cancellation of his Lok Sabha membership.
