Once again, Azam Khan, a Member of Parliament (MP) of the Samajwadi Party (SP,) was asked to apologise for his sexist comment during the Lok Sabha session.

On the 26th of July, Nirmala Sitharaman, the Finance Minister of India and Smriti Irani, the Women and Child Development Minister of India, appealed to Om Birla, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, to take strict action against Azam Khan.

The appeal of both the Cabinet Ministers of India came after Azam Khan, on the 25th of July, made sexist and misogynistic remarks directed at Rama Devi, a MP of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP.)

Azam Khan, on the 25th of July, during a debate in the context of the Triple Talaq Bill, told Rama Devi, the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha, “Look into my eyes and talk.”

Ms. Devi was conducting the proceedings of a debate regarding the Triple Talaq Bill, when Azam Khan said the aforementioned words. This act of his was termed ‘shameless’ and ‘sexist.’

Rama Devi said, “He (Azam Khan) has never respected women, we all know what he had said about Jaya Prada. He has no right to stay in the Lok Sabha, I will request the Speaker to dismiss him. Azam Khan must apologise.”

In addition, Nirmala Sitharaman said, “This is an abominable act, I appeal to you for exemplary action.”

On the other hand, Smriti Irani said, “The entire nation watched what happened…This is a blot on all legislators including men. We cannot remain silent spectators to it. We have to speak in one voice that this is unacceptable.”

With regard to the matter, Om Birla called for a meeting with the leaders of all the parties of the Lok Sabha.

The MPs in the House said Azam Khan should either apologise or he must be suspended from the House.

Om Birla will discuss the controversial comments of Azam Khan with the leaders of all the parties of the House, following which the Lok Sabha will decide action against Azam Khan.
