BJP Accuses DMK MP of ‘Insult to Dalits’ Over Remark on MoS Murugan in Lok Sabha

On Tuesday, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP TR Baalu referred to Union minister L Murugan as “unfit to be a minister,” which caused a huge commotion in the Lok Sabha. The incident happened during the Question Hour on natural disaster-related damages. The administration was questioned by DMK MPs A Raja and A Ganeshmurthy about whether it had dispatched a central team to evaluate the damages brought on by the December natural catastrophes in Chennai and its suburbs, as well as in the southern region of Tamil Nadu, which included extremely heavy rainfall and flooding.

Reports state that as Baalu was speaking during Question Hour, Tamil Nadu native Murugan interrupted. “Why are you interfering? Take a seat.What are your desires?You are not qualified to serve in the legislature. “You are also unworthy of being a minister,” declared the Sriperumbdur-based DMK MP. Baalu was accosted by Union politicians Pralhad Joshi and Arjun Ram Meghwal, who claimed that Baalu had insulted a Dalit.

“TR Baalu has a query for you. Our Council of Ministers has a Dalit minister who got up and stated, “You are asking irrelevant questions.” You also labeled him unsuitable. He is from the SC community and is also a Dalit. Baalu referred to him as unfit. This is a slight to the community of Dalits. “We desire an apology from Baalu,” Union minister Meghwal stated.

“DMK is unable to tolerate that a minister from a downtrodden community is a minister,” Murugan said, taking aim at the DMK MP. This is the reason he insulted my community and myself using an offensive and unparliamentary term,” the minister stated.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has even accused the Congress of backing the leader of the DMK and demanded an apology from Baalu. “He (DMK MP TR Baalu) desired to make fun of him (BJP leader L Murugan and the MoS)…We’ve asked him to issue an apology.Meghwal remarked, “Congress leaders also backed him (DMK MP TR Baalu).

The DMK MP was criticized by Tamil Nadu BJP head K Annamalai, who called him a “disgrace to politics.” “This is not the first time that Thiru TR Balu has made deplorable comments about a member of the Scheduled Caste Community. He is a disgrace to politics.” The BJP leader said on X, “I strongly condemn these remarks on Hon MoS Thiru @Murugan_MoS avl in the Temple of Democracy.”

‘Not an unparliamentary remark’

Baalu defended his remarks about the minister in the face of criticism from the BJP. He told reporters, “It’s not an unparliamentary remark.”

Swati Maliwal Assault: Kejriwal and Akhilesh Dismiss Questions; Sanjay Singh Speaks Out | Watch

Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav addressed the media together. When Kejriwal brought up the topic of the assault on Swati Maliwal, he handed the microphone to Akhilesh. He stated, “There are more important things than this.” As for the alleged attack on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at Kejriwal’s residence by CM’s PA Bibhav Kumar, AAP MP Sanjay Singh has made statements about it thus far. He said he would speak on the matter and then cited Manipur, Prajwal Revanna, and the wrestlers’ protest against former chief wrestler of the Wrestling Federation of India, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

“The prime minister said nothing while the wife of a Kargil hero was paraded in Manipur in her undies. PM Modi requested support for Prajwal Revanna, who had raped and molested many women. And the authorities assisted him in his escape. Swati Maliwal went to visit the women wrestlers during their protests at night, and the cops beat her up. Sanjay Singh remarked, “We have seen PM Modi’s silence on Hathras, Kuldeep Sengar. “The Party of Aam Aadmi is a family. The party has already made it clear where it stands on this matter. I want the BJP to respond to all of these questions, especially the incident in which the cops beat up Swati Maliwal. Politics shouldn’t be played over this, according to Sanjay Singh.

On Wednesday, Sanjay Singh visited Swati Maliwal at her home, but the BJP is pressing for action against Vibhav Kumar in this regard. Leaders of the BJP also questioned if Swati Maliwal was under pressure from the AAP, given that no formal complaint has been filed on the assault event. The picture of Bibhav Kumar seen at the Lucknow airport with Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh was released by the BJP on Thursday. “This is the image from last night of the Lucknow airport.” Vibhav, the one wearing the black shirt, struck Swati Maliwal. Kejriwal is upset, as is Sanjay Singh, who said that Bibhav has done something really wrong. BJP’s Kapil Mishra commented on X, saying, “The third one is Kejriwal himself, who is accused of getting Swati beaten up.”

Kejriwal Sparks Controversy: ‘Modi Never Ruled Out Retirement at 75,’ Amid ‘Amit Shah for PM’ Claim

Amit Shah will succeed Narendra Modi as prime minister in 2025, when the latter turns 75, according to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who announced this Thursday. The prime minister has never said he will not step down at that age. Despite the disagreements between Amit Shah and some other politicians on Kejriwal’s age and retirement, PM Modi never said he wouldn’t retire at 75, Kejriwal said at a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chairman Akhilesh Yadav (Lucknow). “Everyone in the nation is confident that Modi won’t deviate from his 75-year retirement age,” Kejriwal stated.

“Amit Shah’s appointment as prime minister is now confirmed. According to him, the BJP has ignored every opponent, including Devendra Fadnavis, Manohar Lal Khattar, Vasundhara Raje, Dr. Raman Singh, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The only issue at hand is Yogi Adityanath, who would be ousted in two to three months, according to Kejriwal, who also mentioned that no BJP leader had disputed his remarks against Adityanath, suggesting that Adityanath’s departure was all but certain.

According to Kejriwal, eliminating reservations is the BJP’s “big plan” if they win the election.

During his first rally after leaving Tihar, Kejriwal stated that if he supported the BJP, Amit Shah would become prime minister since, according to party policy, no one over 75 may hold any job. Narendra Modi will turn 75 in 2025. In response to Kejriwal’s assertion, Amit Shah stated that Narendra Modi will serve out his term and continue to head the party well beyond 2029. Amit Shah charged that Kejriwal was fomenting disarray within the party about the leadership, whereas there is none.

“I would want to inform Arvind Kejriwal and associates that there is no need to celebrate Modiji’s 75th birthday. The BJP constitution does not mention his ineligibility to serve as prime minister. He will serve out the remainder of his time as prime minister. The party is not confused,” Amit Shah declared.
