Why should BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri's remarks be probed by the Privileges Committee

Opposition parties believe that BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri's repeated offensive statements should be investigated by the Privileges Committee.
  • Accountability: Investigating Ramesh Bidhuri's remarks through the Privileges Committee would ensure that MPs are held accountable for their words and actions.
  • Code of Conduct: MPs are expected to adhere to a certain code of conduct while representing the people. If Bidhuri's remarks violated this code, it is necessary to investigate the matter.
  • Public Representation: MPs are public figures who hold significant influence. Offensive statements by an MP can have a negative impact on society, and therefore, it is important to investigate such remarks to maintain the dignity and integrity of the position.
  • Political Decorum: Offensive statements can lead to an erosion of political decorum, creating a disruptive and divisive atmosphere. The investigation would send a message that such behavior is not tolerated in the parliamentary system.
  • Responsibility: MPs have a responsibility to act in the best interest of the people they represent. Investigating Bidhuri's remarks would ensure that MPs are reminded of their duties and responsibilities towards the public.
