'Aiyyashi Kar Rahe The…' | Nishikant Dubey's comments on Nehru sparks uproar in LS; Chair intervenes

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned Wednesday until 5 pm after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey made a series of sharp remarks targeting the Congress and members of the Nehru-Gandhi family during the debate on the President’s Address, prompting repeated interventions from the Chair.Participating in the debate at around 2 pm, Dubey accused the Congress and the Gandhi family of “aiyyashi, makkari and bhrashtachar (debauchery, trickery, and corruption)”, and sought to refer to a series of books that he claimed contained damaging accounts about them.“There is a discussion on books going on here, on a book that has never been published. I want to tell the house about books which are full of Congress family’s ‘gaddari, makkari, bhrashtachar and aiyyashi’. And these are all published books,” Dubey said. He went on to name Lady Edwina Mountbatten and India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, saying the book describes how, at the time of Independence and Partition, “Nehru ji aiyyashi kar rahe the.” “I wish to quote from the book,” he added.
