Ravi Shankar Prasad, Harsh Vardhan under fire for allegedly laughing at Bidhuri's remarks

BJP MPs Ravi Shankar Prasad and Harsh Vardhan on Friday distanced themselves from their party colleague Ramesh Bidhuri's objectionable remarks against BSP parliamentarian Danish Ali as they came under attack for allegedly laughing at the time of the incident in the Lok Sabha.

While Prasad said he does not support any indecent comment, Harsh Vardhan alleged that some people with vested interests have "dragged" his name into the row and claimed that he could not "clearly hear" what was being said due to the "chaos" in the House at that time.

The BJP, meanwhile, issued a show cause notice to Bidhuri, its MP from South Delhi, for his objectionable remarks against the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
