NEW DELHI: Women members in Lok Sabha on Friday spoke in one voice condemning the sexist remarks by SP member Azam Khan against Bihar MP Rama Devi and demanded that he should either apologise or else he should be suspended from the House.During the Zero Hour, Union textiles minister Smriti Irani said the remarks of Khan in Lok Sabha on Thursday during the debate of Triple Talaq Bill were a "blot" on all legislators, including men."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," Irani said.Supporting Irani, Union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said either Khan should tender an apology or he should be suspended from the House.Cutting across party lines, several MPs condemned Azam Khan's remarks and demanded strict action against him.Speaker Om Birla said he will hold a meeting with leaders of all parties and then take a decision.NCP's Supriya Sule, Trinamool Congress member Kalyan Banerjee and BJD's B Mahtab were among the members who chimed with the views condemning Khan's remarks.Congress leader in the House Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said action should be taken against anyone demeaning women and raised the issue of members using objectionable words against Sonia Gandhi in the past.However, this drew protests from the members of the treasury benches who said the issue should not be politicised.Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman termed Khan's remarks as "utterly condemnable" and urged the Speaker to take exemplary action.
