‘Do not speak out of turn’: PM Modi warns BJP lawmakers after Union Minister's expletive at a rally

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a strong signal to BJP lawmakers on Tuesday, warning them ‘not to address the nation’ out of turn.

"I will not compromise on this," he said.

Modi’s statement came just hours after newly inducted Union Minister Niranjan Jyoti kicked up a storm, embarrassing the BJP with her oratory skills.

Addressing a crowd in west Delhi on Monday, she had said, “You have to decide. Do you want a government of Ramzadon or Haramzadon (illegitimate-born)?”

The 47-year-old minister joined the Modi government on November 09, taking charge as minister of state for food processing.

The opposition raised the issue in the Parliament and demanded her resignation for using foul language. Meanwhile, she tendered an apology in the Lok Sabha, accepting that she had wronged.

“I accept that I made those comments, I apologise for whatever I have said. If someone has been hurt because of my statement, I take my words back, apologize. I have tendered an apology in both Houses of Parliament she said.

The Parliament on Tuesday witnessed uproar over alleged controversial remarks made by her, with opposition forcing brief adjournments of both the Houses.

Kharge said the "objectionable" language used by Jyoti has created tension at a time when there have been communal riots. Several Congress and Trinamool Congress members rushed to the Well shouting slogans. Congress members were heard demanding apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"The Prime Minister should give an explanation," Congress leader Anand Sharma said.

BSP chief Mayawati said the minister's remarks were against the secular ethos espoused by the Constitution and do not behold a person occupying a constitutional post. The BJP should sack her, she said.

She and CPI (M) MP Sitaram Yechury demanded that an FIR be filed against Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti. The Congress alleged that Jyoti had insulted the people of Delhi and she should issue an apology while the Aam Aadmi Party said it was the BJP's real face.

"The divisive thinking and divisive politics of the BJP has been exposed," Congress leader Ambika Soni said. Later, outside Parliament, the Minister was asked about demands for her resignation. "I have apologised and I have nothing else to say," she replied. BJP spokesman Sambit Patra said it was a "slip of tongue" and the issue should not be politicised.

Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said those in the government and the opposition should use dignified language and in the past UPA ministers too had crossed the line many times.
