Nishikant Dubey says Mahua Moitra called him 'Bihari Gunda', TMC MP replies

A war of words broke out between BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra inside and outside Parliament on Wednesday as Nishikant Dubey alleged that in the meeting of the IT committee, Mahua called him a 'Bihari gunda' thrice.

Tagging Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee, Dubey wrote, that the way the TMC MP abused, the party's hatred towards North Indians and towards Hindi-speaking people was now clear in front of the country.

Mahua Moitra too responded on Twitter saying she is amused by the charge of name-calling as the said meeting did not take place, as there was no quorum.

On Wednesday, Nishikant Dubey gave a notice to move a privilege motion seeking Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's removal as the head of the standing committee on information technology. The committee was scheduled to discuss the alleged Pegasus snooping, but the meeting could not be held as the BJP MPs refused to sign the attendance.
