TMC MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay says he got death threat in SMS

New Delhi, Dec 22 (IBNS) Trinamool Congress MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that he received several SMSs with death threats and they were in such filthy language that part of it he cannot utter in the House.
He said he also informed West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee who has asked him to lodge a police complaint in Delhi and raise it in Parliament. 
 
In Kolkata, Mamata Banerjee said Sudip Bandyopadhyay was threatened because he raised several important issues in Parliament. 
 
"If we cannot speak in Parliament where will we speak"? asked Banerjee. 
 
In Parliament, Bandopadhyay said: "I would request the Home Minister to take up this issue seriously and make suitable arrangements."
 
"The language used in the SMS is ugly and dangerous. Previously there were attacks at my flat in Delhi. I have informed the Chief Minister of West Bengal. She advised me to take it up in the House," he said.
 
He quoted the SMS as: "You will be killed and your dead body will be taken to Kolkata, Bastard Child."
