New Delhi: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Thursday said he has given a notice to initiate a “substantive motion” against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and demanded that his Lok Sabha membership be cancelled and that he be debarred from contesting elections for life.
Speaking to PTI videos in the Parliament House complex, Dubey said that in his notice he has stated how the Leader of the Opposition visits foreign countries, joining hands with the Soros Foundation, USAID and Ford Foundation, and “colludes” with anti-India elements.
A substantive motion is an independent, self-contained proposal submitted for the approval of a legislative house or assembly, drafted to express a decision or opinion.
“No privilege motion notice. I have given a substantive motion notice, wherein I have mentioned how he visits Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia with the Soros Foundation, Ford Foundation and USAID, and colludes with anti-India forces,” Dubey alleged.
