Controversy has flared in the Assembly following Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment Avinash Gehlot's reference to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi as 'Dadi' during a Question Hour session.

Despite Congress MLAs staging a dharna and the suspension of six members, including PCC chief Govind Singh Dotasara, Gehlot maintains that the term 'Dadi' is respectful and not insulting.
