When Nishikant Dubey made an outrageous statement, he violated at least three clear rules of Parliament.First, you cannot attack people in a defamatory manner. Second, you cannot take anyone's name without giving them advance notice in writing. Third, you cannot assault the parliamentary privilege of an MP.He violated all three rules and was allowed to continue speaking and ranting for quite some time, which we strongly objected to. The House was initially adjourned. We met with the Speaker and insisted that these remarks be expunged from the record and that the person must apologize. That has still not happened. We MPs protested again, and the House was adjourned once more.This is obviously a waste of parliamentary time, our time, and the time of the public and taxpayers. I would ask the BJP, which claims to be a ruling party that wants the House to function: how can they encourage one of their members to make such blatantly violative and shameful statements inside Parliament? It’s truly shocking.: Shashi Tharoor ji | Indian National Congress
