Amid a row over Ramesh Bidhuri's derogatory remarks in the Lok Sabha against him, BSP MP Danish Ali on Friday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make a public statement condemning Bidhuri's behaviour and ensure "suitable punishment" to the BJP MP.
In a letter to the prime minister, Ali also demanded that he be provided with enhanced security in view of an "escalation of threats" against him.
The recent incident during the special session of Parliament was not just an attack on him as an individual but an attack on the "very essence of democracy", Ali said.
Expressing grave concern as a MP over the "recent shameful events", the BSP leader called on the prime minister, as the Leader of the House, to take note of the incident.

"As you must be aware, the situation has significantly worsened since September 21, 2023, and it has cast a shadow over the parliamentary decorum and democratic functioning of our esteemed House of which I am privileged to be a member," Ali said in his letter which he released to the media.
