Congress MPs Face Breach of Privilege Motion After Bill Protest in Lok Sabha
New Delhi – December 19, 2025 – The Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla, is reviewing a notice filed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey alleging breach of privilege and contempt against eight Congress MPs following a disruptive protest during the debate on the VB-G RAM G Bill on Thursday.
According to Dubey, Hibi Eden, Dean Kuriakose, S Murasoli, K Gopinath, Sashikant Senthil, Shafi Parambil, S Venkateshan, and Jothimani engaged in “contemptuous and unbecoming behaviour” by obstructing Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan, tearing copies of the bill, and disrupting the proceedings of the House. The protests were staged in opposition to the VB-G RAM G Bill, which is set to replace the 20-year-old Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).
Dubey has urged Speaker Birla to take strict action against the Congress MPs, stating that their actions constituted a breach of parliamentary privileges and contempt of the House. The Speaker’s office has confirmed that the notice is currently under examination. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the proposed legislation and underscores the deep partisan divisions within the Indian Parliament.
