Uproar in Lok Sabha over Azam Khan's sexist remark on BJP MP Rama Devi


Daijiworld Media Network - New Delhi (SR)

New Delhi, Jul 25: Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Azam Khan’s sexist remark on BJP MP Rama Devi, who was officiating the proceedings, led to angry reactions from the members of the House on Thursday.

Khan was speaking during the debate on Triple Talaq bill when the BJP MP was conducting the proceedings in the House, asked Khan to ignore interruptions by other members and speak to the chair and Khan said, "Aapki aankhon mein aankhein daalke baat karne ka man karta ha [Feel like speaking to you while looking into your eyes]".

MP Rama Devi objected to Azam Khan’s remark and said “this is not the way to speak.” However, Khan replied “you are like my sister.”

Other members of the Lok Sabha demanded an apology from Khan. However, Akhilesh Yadav came to Azam Khan’s rescue claiming that the BJP was the most ‘indecent’ party in terms of the language they use in Parliament.

Azam Khan refused to apologise and said he was ready to tender his resignation if he said anything that was unparliamentary. Later, Khan, along with Akhilesh Yadav, walked out of the House.

    Not a big deal. It's happening every other day in parliament. Rama Devi must have shied for his language where he made her day by praising her beauty. Obviously a great day her to cherish rest of her life.

    Had others said the same statement it would not have been a controversy like this because he is known to say controversial statements . he might have meant to say speaking to you only as other BJP members was trying to halt his speech.

    Thugs like him shouldn't be allowed inside the Parliament. If this guy can speak to the Lok Sabha Chair, in such a derogatory manner, imagine how he would be treating women in his constituency?
