In a dramatic session at the Lok Sabha, Speaker Om Birla is scrutinizing an allegation made by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey against eight Congress members. Dubey claims these MPs breached parliamentary privilege during the proceedings of the VB-G RAM G Bill.

The notice, submitted on Thursday, accuses the Congress MPs of engaging in contemptuous behavior that disrupted the House. Names identified include Hibi Eden, Dean Kuriakose, and others. Dubey emphasizes that this misconduct hampered the smooth functioning of the parliamentary session.

Officials report that the speaker's decision is pending. Dubey's notice highlights the need for maintaining parliamentary decorum and requests Om Birla to enforce strict measures against the accused members.
