Union Minister Bittu Pushed Abu Taher in Lok Sabha: TMC Leaders
In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders have accused Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu of pushing their colleague, Murshidabad MP Abu Taher Khan, in the Lok Sabha during the introduction of bills to remove jailed ministers.
According to sources, the incident occurred on Wednesday when Bittu, the Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, was introducing a bill to remove jailed ministers from their positions. Taher, who is currently recovering from a serious illness, was present in the House to protest the move, along with other TMC MPs.
The TMC leaders have written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, alleging that Bittu “violently” pushed Taher during the proceedings, leading to a commotion in the House. In their letter, the TMC MPs claimed that they were exercising their right to protest against the bills, which they believe are unconstitutional and aimed at weakening the opposition.
The TMC leaders have demanded that Bittu be held accountable for his actions and that the Speaker of the House take necessary action to maintain order and decorum in the Lok Sabha. They have also sought an apology from Bittu for his alleged behavior.
The incident has sparked outrage among opposition parties, with many condemning Bittu’s actions as unbecoming of a Union Minister. The Congress, which has been critical of the government’s handling of the situation, has demanded that the Minister be sacked for his behavior.
Meanwhile, the ruling BJP has defended Bittu, saying that the incident was being blown out of proportion by the opposition. Party leaders have claimed that the TMC MPs were being aggressive and unruly, and that Bittu was simply trying to maintain order in the House.
The controversy has also raised questions about the government’s handling of the situation. Critics have pointed out that the government’s decision to introduce bills to remove jailed ministers is unconstitutional and aimed at weakening the opposition. The move has been seen as an attempt to muzzle the voices of opposition leaders and silence their criticism of the government.
The incident has also highlighted the need for greater decorum and respect in the Lok Sabha. MPs from both sides of the aisle have called for greater respect and civility in the House, and for the Speaker to take necessary action to maintain order and decorum.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the government and the opposition will respond to the allegations against Bittu. Will the Minister be held accountable for his actions, or will the controversy be swept under the rug? Only time will tell.
