BJP member Nishikant Dubey has accused BSP MP Danish Ali of starting the row with his “unpardonable expressions” against PM Modi. Dubey defended his colleague Ramesh Bidhuri, who made communal slurs against Ali, stating that Ali had provoked him. Ali has threatened to move a privilege motion against Bidhuri, and Dubey’s support could ensure that he is not without backing during the parliamentary panel’s investigation.
