New Delhi: As Bhartiya Janata Party is trying all tactics to get Wyanad Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi suspended from the Lok Sabha over his alleged derogatory remark, made in London, on democracy in India, the congress sought a ‘privilege motion’ against PM Modi for making ‘insulting & demating’ remark against Rahul and Sonia Gandhi in parliament.

The move of the key opposition party is a bid to counter BJP’s attack on Rahul Gandhi. Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal approached Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar with a notice of a question of privilege against Prime Minister Narendra Modi under rule 188 of the upper house.
