There was a lot of uproar in the Lok Sabha today on the comment of BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay on Wednesday. The entire opposition was demanding an apology from the BJP MP and the government. During this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju tried to handle the situation. Speaking in the House, he said that the BJP MP has misused the language. We are all members of this great House, if any member makes such a comment which hurts the dignity of the House, then it is a very sad incident for everyone. Whether it is from the ruling party or the opposition, if any member makes such a comment which hurts the dignity of the House, then you take action from time to time. You remove him from the proceedings of the House, the rest is the right of the Speaker.
I could have defended him if I wanted to- Kiren Rijiju
The Parliamentary Affairs Minister further said that if a member makes such a comment, the Speaker has the right to take action against him. I want to say this on behalf of my government, I am not saying in detail, I was not in the House. I was in the Rajya Sabha, this incident happened before I came. I could have defended if I wanted, I do not want to go into who provoked our member. However, as soon as the proceedings of the Lok Sabha started on Thursday, there was an uproar in the House. After this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said that it is important to maintain the dignity of the House.

Lok Sabha speaker's advice to members
In this case, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said that everyone should sit and accept the decision he is giving. This House has a lot of dignity, it has a very high tradition and custom. We are all fortunate that the public has elected us for the 18th Lok Sabha. All members should speak their mind in the House, participate in the discussion and should not make any such comment which is not in accordance with parliamentary traditions. The tradition should be such that it is in accordance with India's reputation in the world. We ignore such things, do not sit and make such comments in future. Never argue and do not challenge the Chair. The more we maintain the dignity of the House, the more the dignity of the Chair will remain.
Uproar over BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay's comment
The whole matter came to light when BJP MP from Tamluk, West Bengal, Abhijit Gangopadhyay was speaking on economic issues while participating in the discussion on the budget in the House. During this, when some opposition members commented, Gangopadhyay said that the learned members do not know the subject and they should learn. During this, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi made a comment about 'Godse', to which Gangopadhyay retaliated and used an objectionable word for him. Opposition members opposed this. Then former Calcutta High Court judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay made such a comment, which angered the opposition.

That's why the opposition raised questions
When opposition members including Gaurav Gogoi started creating ruckus, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said that if the member has used any unparliamentary word, then the chair will decide on it. But Gaurav Gogoi should not have said such a thing during the discussion on the budget. On the other hand, Gangopadhyay kept speaking amid the ruckus of opposition members. Meanwhile, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla took the chair and wanted to know the reason for the controversy. Gogoi said that unparliamentary words have been used in the House for which the MP should apologize. He said that Union Minister Meghwal should also have apologized on behalf of the government. Later, Birla said that the word on which there is controversy has been removed from the proceedings. He also said that many topics are brought for discussion which no one should bring. While saying anything about the leader of the House or any member, it should not be kept without proof.
