In his letter, Channi said that the Prime Minister has also shared the comments in Anurag Thakur’s speech which have been removed from the proceedings of the House in the video he posted. Channi said that it is shocking to see that the Prime Minister tweeted the deleted portions on ‘X’ along with the entire speech.
Let us tell you that the controversy started in the House on Tuesday when Thakur and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi had a debate over the absence of OBCs and Dalits among those preparing the budget. Thakur had mentioned Rahul’s caste during their conversation.
In his letter, Channi, citing parliamentary rules, argued that including the deleted words in social media posts is a breach of privilege and contempt of the House.
He demanded that privilege proceedings be initiated against Modi. Channi wrote that this is clearly a breach of privilege and contempt of the House. The way Anurag Thakur made a statement on Rahul Gandhi, there was a lot of uproar in the Lok Sabha.
