PM Modi urges Opposition to let Parliament function
He also urged the opposition to let the house get to work.
“I have strongly criticized the sort of language she (Niranjan Jyoti) exercised in an election speech in Delhi. She has apologized already,” the PM told the Rajya Sabha.
The Upper House of Parliament could not function since Monday as the opposition demanded the minister be removed immediately on the grounds of her abusive remarks.
Jyoti on Monday said: “You have to decide. Do you want a government of Ramzaadon (followers of Ram) or (those who are illegitimate)?”
She also criticized Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son-in-law Robert Vadra’s controversial land deals. “The son of an ordinary family, who sold utensils, Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law, how did this man become a millionaire? They robbed the poor,” she said.
Jyoti debuted in the general elections held in May this year and won from Uttar Pradesh. She was one of the six BJP MPs in-charge the party’s campaign for the Delhi polls scheduled early next year.
Following Jyoti’s abusive remarks, PM Modi on Tuesday also warned his lawmaker not to speak “out of turn”.
