Speaking to news agency ANI, Dubey said, "The words used by him are not acceptable. I was present in the Parliament when all this took place. BSP MP Danish Ali kept calling PM Modi 'neech'. I have written a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla requesting him to constitute an Inquiry Committee to investigate Danish Ali's remark and the utterances made by various members during the discussion that day including the speeches of Saugata Roy and others"



"We need to understand that people like Danish Ali and some leaders of Congress, DMK, and TMC are habitual offenders and they make derogatory comments to provoke BJP MPs," he added.


Ramesh Bidhuri's objectionable remarks against Danish Ali have triggered anger among the Opposition parties, with their demand for strict action against Bidhuri. Ali has given an ultimatum of leaving the Parliament if the Speaker will not conduct an enquiry into the matter.


BSP MP Danish Ali Denies Charge


BSP MP Danish Ali denying Nishikant Dubey's allegations said "BJP's crisis management group should have at least made proper allegations after sitting for 48 hours."


He said "Danish Ali has not stooped so low that he will make such comments about the Prime Minister...These allegations are baseless, I do not take them seriously because the training given in BJP-RSS is to tell a lie 100 times and make it look like the truth."
