New Delhi: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said we shouldn’t talk about caste and religion. The speaker also warned that action will be taken against those who speak out about caste and religion.
Congressman AR said Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman downplayed his Hindi because he was from a lower caste. The speaker’s caveat was when Reddy said. The President has suggested that the people should not choose members of Parliament on the basis of caste and religion and should not tell the House.
The event is as follows: During the question and answer session, the President intervened when he quoted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks in the House when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat that the rupee had fallen against the dollar and was in “ICU”. The speaker’s suggestion was to go directly to the question. But Reddy replied, “Sir, you shouldn’t interfere.”
The Speaker, who allowed him to ask a question, warned him not to talk like that. Meanwhile, Reddy was angered by a remark the finance minister made while he was answering a question. Nirmala Sitharaman’s comment was that she would answer the question asked by the Congressman in the ‘Hindi room’.
