Lok Sabha on Thursday witnessed a massive uproar after Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Azam Khan made a sexist remark on Rama Devi, who was officiating the proceedings.

While debating on the triple talaq bill in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, Samajwadi Party MP Azam Khan courted controversy as he made a sexist comment on Rama Devi.

When BJP MP Rama Devi objected to Azam Khan’s remark saying that this was not the way to speak, the Samajwadi Party leader replied, "You are like my sister".

Azam Khan’s comments led to an uproar in the Lok Sabha following which the members of the House demanded an apology.

As Speaker Om Birla resumed the Chair, he reprimanded Azam Khan and asked for his apology. Speaker Om Birla also gave instructions to expunge the objectionable part.

As the MPs demanded an apology, Akhilesh Yadav came to Azam Khan’s defence and said the BJP was the most "indecent" party in terms of the language they use in Parliament.

Refusing to apologise, Azam Khan said he was ready to tender his resignation if he said anything that was unparliamentary. Azam Khan and Akhilesh Yadav later walked out of the Lok Sabha.
