NEW DELHI: Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury today threatened to file a privilege motion against Kiren Rijiju for tweeting a video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sarcastic jibe on her but the Union Minister said he was only referring to how he (Modi) was not annoyed despite a “vexatious” laugh.
“This is highly objectionable and I am going to file a privilege motion (in Rajya Sabha),” Chowdhury told reporters minutes after Rijiju posted the video of the Prime Minister’s remarks on her in Rajya Sabha yesterday on his Twitter handle.
According to the Union Minister of State for Home, the opposition Congress has been saying that Modi’s remarks were breach of privilege but the Rajya Sabha chairman (M Venkaiah Naidu) remarked that such behaviour is unbecoming.
“I am only referring to how the prime minister didn’t get annoyed. Despite such vexatious laugh by Renuka Chaudhary, the PM didn’t get irritated,” he said. (AGENCIES)
