Renuka Chowdhury moves privilege motion against Rijiju for video

Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury on Friday moved a privilege motion in Rajya Sabha against Union Minister of State Kiren Rijiju over video of PM Modi's speech in Rajya Sabha.

Union Minister of State for Home Kiran Rijiju has shared a video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comment on Congress leader Renuka Chowdhary hysterical laughter likening to mythological character 'Surpanakha'.

The breach of privilege was moved against Kiren Rijiju for sharing on Facebook a post



mocking her laughter after PM Modi joked about it in the Rajya Sabha.

In fact, the post had a video clip from the 1980s series 'Ramayana', in which the mythical character Surpanakha cackles loudly. Later in the video was a clip from the Rajya Sabha, when PM Modi took a dig at Ms Chowdhury for laughing loudly in the middle of his speech.

Rijiju removed the post from his Facebook page on Thursday, but on Twitter, he posted the Rajya Sabha video without the Ramayana clip.
