Defends Nitish : Refer Matter to Privileges Committee
SHRI CHANDRA SHEKHAR (Ballia) : Mr. Chairman, Sir, the entire House
is has a unanimous view in this matter. The way Shri Nitish Kumar has
raised this matter and challenged that if what he has said turns out to be
untrue he will resign his seat. It is very much apparent that whatever he
has stated is true and his sentiments have been hurt. It could be possible
that there may have been a delay of a day or two but he has submitted a
personal bond.
He has certainly given a personal bond and there is no mistake
therein. Then this has been said to insult him. Hon’ble Shivraj Patil has
referred to the conventions of the House. There is no denying about
that. But this is also true that sometimes such circumstances arise when
the House has to take a decision immediately. Even if there may have
been some mistake in the first case but on the second time, the intention
was to insult Hon’ble Member. Hence you should exercise your rights
and refer the matter to the Privileges Committee.
