Asaduddin Owaisi Advises PM Modi to Translate Offensive Remarks and Send It to Your Arab Friends
In a disturbing incident that transpired during the late-night session of Lok Sabha on Thursday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha MP Ramesh Bidhuri used offensive and anti-Muslim slurs against his fellow parliamentarian, Danish Ali from the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). The offensive remarks were captured on camera and broadcast as part of the Lok Sabha proceedings.
Bidhuri’s remarks included derogatory terms such as “ugrawaaadi” (militant), “aatankwaadi hai” (terrorist), “ugrawaadi hai” (militant), and “aantankwaadi hai” (terrorist) when referring to Danish Ali. Additionally, Bidhuri reportedly referred to Ali as a “Mullah aatankwadi” (Mullah terrorist), “bharwa” (pimp), and “katwa” (circumcised).
During the intense exchange, Bidhuri even exclaimed, “Baahar phenko iss mulle ko” (Throw this ‘Mullah’ out), targeting Danish Ali.
Congress leader Kodikunnal Suresh, presiding over the session, can be seen urging MPs to maintain decorum. Suresh later confirmed that he had instructed officials to ensure that Bidhuri’s offensive comments were expunged from the parliamentary records.
In response to this incident, Danish Ali has written to Birla, requesting that Bidhuri’s comments be referred to the Lok Sabha privileges committee. In his letter, Ali expressed his dismay, stating that the episode “is most unfortunate” and deeply saddening, especially since it occurred in the new parliament building under Birla’s leadership as Speaker. He emphasized the need for an inquiry to maintain discipline among experienced members and preserve the nation’s atmosphere.
Despite the hate speech uttered within the parliament, the BJP has not taken any immediate action against Bidhuri. However, Defense Minister and Deputy Leader of Lok Sabha, Rajnath Singh, expressed regret over the remarks, stating, “I express regret if the opposition is hurt by the remarks made by the member,” while also mentioning that he had not personally heard the comments.
According to PTI reports, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla cautioned Bidhuri of “strict action” if such behavior were to repeat in the future but did not specify any immediate consequences for this incident.
Asaduddin Owaisi advised Prime Minister Modi to translate this inflammatory statement by the BJP MP and send it to his Arab friends.
Speaking on the matter, Danish Ali questioned, “Is this the ‘New India’ that Narendra Modi speaks about? If an MP is subjected to such abuse inside Lok Sabha, one can only imagine the plight of an ordinary Muslim.”
He expressed concern that hate speech has not only proliferated in the streets but has also entered the revered halls of parliament.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticized Rajnath Singh’s apology as an “eyewash” and demanded stronger action against Bidhuri. Ramesh condemned Bidhuri’s offensive language, describing it as an insult not only to parliament but to every Indian citizen. He wondered why the MP had not yet been suspended.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) called for Bidhuri’s arrest, asserting that parliamentary privilege should not protect hate speech.
BJP MP Harsh Vardhan, who faced criticism on social media for his reaction during Bidhuri’s slurs, claimed that both MPs used unparliamentary language against each other, without acknowledging the communal slurs used by Bidhuri. Harsh Vardhan then discussed his friendships with many Muslim individuals.
