NEW DELHI, July 16 (PTI) — A BJP member in the Lok Sabha today gave a notice of breach of privilege against RJP member Anand Mohan in the light of media reports that the latter had carried a firearm and two knives into the House.
Mr Satya Pal Jain, in his notice, said the recovery was reportedly effected when Mr Anand was taken to hospital after he received injuries when forcibly evicted from the House by marshals on July 14 on the orders of Speaker G.M.C. Balayogi.
The BJP member raised the issue during zero hour but was told by Mr P.M. Sayeed, who was in the Chair, that his notice was under consideration of the Speaker.
Mr Rajesh Pilot (Congress) and Mr B.C. Khanduri (BJP) expressed serious concern over the report that Mr Anand was carrying arms.
Demanding the government came out with the truth, Mr Pilot said if the report was true, it would lower the dignity of the House. Mr Khanduri, while supporting Mr Pilot’s contention, wanted the house to take a decision on the issue.
