DAILY EXCELSIOR, JAMMU SATURDAY, JULY 23, 2016 (PAGE 13) Harsimrat threatens to move privilege motion against Cong MPs NEW DELHI, July 22: Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal today threatened to move a privilege motion against two Congress MPs for their alleged "misbehaviour" with her in Rajya Sabha. She alleged that Congress MPs Renuka Chowdhury and Jairam Ramesh did not allow her to speak in the Upper House when she sought to raise the issue of Parliament security in the wake of AAP MP Bhagwant Mann's video uploaded on social media in the Upper House. The Union Food Processing minister accused Chawdhury of using "bad words" against her and expressed surprise at the behav- iour of Congress members after the House had adjourned. "I am surprised at the rude manner in which Jairam Ramesh and Renuka Chowdhury spoke to me. The two questioned me as to how I could come in the House not being a member and said I was disrupting its proceedings. "I will move a privilege motion against them as they have misbehaved with me and this is not the manner you behave with a minister. They do not know the manner on how to talk to a woman," Badal told reporters out- side Parliament. Badal, who is a Lok Sabha member from Bhatinda is a minis- ter and she can speak in either House of Parliament. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned today after members created uproar over Mann's video exposing Parliament security. Congress members had object- ed to her intervention in Rajya Sabha when the private member's bills were taken up and a Congress member had moved one such bill on grant of special status to Andhra Pradesh. The Union minister said she was only trying to tell the public on how the security was compromised by Mann, but was disallowed to express her views by Congress members who objected to her intervention in the Upper House. "I am surprised, what kind of mentality the Congress has that it has reached to this level. They came from the other side and start- ed fighting with me. Renuka Chowdhury even used bad words. "I am surprised they cannot hold a bill for 5 minutes. For them the security of jawans and our own security is so cheap that they are not ready to hear for even five min- utes. The video clip that has been uploaded could fall in wrong hands and the House should have dis- cussed it," she added. Renuka Chowdhury denied Harsimrat Kaur Badal's allegations of misbehaviour and dubbed her remarks as "a drama" and said "I did not converse with her at all dur- ing the official proceedings. "I think she is fantasising about something and this is some weird attention-seeking gimmick. She is pushing BJP's diversionary tactics in not giving five crore people of Andhra the special category recog- nition that is required," Chowdhury said.
