Lok Sabha MP Danish Ali was suspended by Mayawati-led BSP on Saturday for allegedly indulging in anti party activities. He termed his suspension unfortunate and said he would continue to raise his voice against injustice and corruption.

Danish Ali took to X(formerly Twitter) after his suspension, Ali said he made all diligent efforts to strengthen the BSP and would continue to oppose the anti people policies of the central government. He thanked the part chief Mayawati, for making him the BSP Parliamentary party leader. Ali said if raising his voice against injustice was a crime, he was ready to face punishment.

Talking to the media in a press conference, Ali denied indulging in anti party activities and said he always walked the BSP’s line. On Friday Ali sided with the opposition and slammed the expulsion of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mahua Moitra as a Lok Sabha MP. He slammed the BJP led central government, saying its brute majority in the Lower House did not mean it could throttle the opposition.

The BSP is not a member of the rulling BJP-led NDA or the Opposition INDIA bloc. The BSP on Saturday suspended its MP Danish Ali for allegedly indulging in anti party activities. Ali has been representing the Amroha Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh since 2019.

In a statement issued by the BSP national general secretary Satish Chandra Misra, Ali had been warned by the party many times in the past not to indulge in anti party activities. The BSP said Ali had been working with HD Deve Gowda of the Janata Dal (secular) party. At that time, both the BSP and JD(S) were contesting together in the Karnataka state election. After the Karnataka election Ali was given a ticket from Amroha and asked to contest from there due to Devegowda’s insistence. Deve Gowda had said the party had decided to suspend Ali with immediate effect.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Lok Sabha MP from Amroha Danish Ali, was suspended from the party for anti-party activities after BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri made offensive remarks to him in parliament.

A statement from Mayawati’s party on Saturday said, this is to inform that Mr. Danish Ali B.S.P. Lok Sabha MP from Amroha, Uttar Pradesh has been suspended from the party today 9.12.2023 due to anti-party activities.

The Amroha MP has been warned multiple times not to act or say things that go against the party’s principles, beliefs, and policies, according to the party statement.

It went on, yet he has been acting and working against the party despite all the warnings.

Ramesh Bidhuri, a BJP MP, caused a political uproar in September 2023 when he used derogatory remarks about Danish Ali in the Parliament. Speaker Om Birla had issued a warning to the BJP MP, threatening strict action if the behaviour continued. J P Nadda, the president of the BJP, also gave him a show-cause notice for his contentious remarks.

Bidhuri apologised on Thursday for his offensive comments made about Ali during a meeting of the Lok Sabha Privileges Committee, which heard the two leaders separately.

Earlier in November, opposition MPs had left the Parliament Ethics Committee meeting, including Danish Ali and Mahua Moitra of the TMC, who was expelled from the Lok Sabha due to suspicions of receiving cash-for-query.

On Friday, Mahua Moitra was ejected from the Lok Sabha following a majority vote in favour of the resolution.

The ethics committee chose to hang me without investigating the matter further. It declined to call the businessman to testify, and there is no proof of any money or gifts, she remarked outside the Parliament, to the cheers of the opposition leaders.

At the oath taking ceremony as the second chief minister of Telangana, Revanth Reddy along with his family made a symbolic gesture that resonated widely. The chief minister and his wife were captured on stage, seeking the blessings from top Congress leaders, notably Sonia Gandhi.

The touching scene unfolded as they humbly touched Sonia Gandhi’s feet. The social media praised the Telangana CM for his gesture. Supporters and members of the Congress took immense pride in the video and it was shared widely as a symbol of respect and unity within the party. One social media user said this is the manners of the Congress party. He said this is the scene of the day for him.

BJP Social media cell head Amit Malviya said soon after the swearing-in Revanth Reddy and his wife fell on the feet of Sonia Gandhi to seek blessings. He said there is no problem with that as it is part of our culture. He noted that Reddy shook hands with Kharge ji, although he is much senior, both in age and position. He asked is it because he is a Dalit and rubber stamp Congress president or both?

One user Harshvardhan Tiwari said Revanth Reddy’s manners have won the hearts of the entire nation. He said the people of Telangana have elected a true person as their Chief Minister.

One user Amitabh Chaudhary said Kharge is 81 years old and Sonia Gandhi is 76 years old. He said Kharge is a party Chief and Sonia Gandhi is only an MP. He said Revanth Reddy took his wife to touch Sonia Gandhi’s feet and ignored the Dalit Kharge. He said this the culture of Congress where Gandhi family is worshipped and others even like PM Manmohan Singh  and legends like Pranab Mukherjee are insulted, humiliated and shoved in corner when Madam and her children arrive.
