New Delhi: Samajwadi Party lawmaker Azam Khan apologized in the Lok Sabha on Monday over his objectionable remarks against Bharatiya Janata Party member Rama Devi when she was chairing the proceedings of the House during a debate on Thursday. The issue had kicked up a storm in the Lower House last week when members cutting across party lines demanded ‘exemplary action’ against Khan. If people think that I committed a mistake then I am sorry for it,” Khan said in the Lok Sabha at the start of the day’s proceedings. Union parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi said, “The disrespect which has been meted out to all women parliamentarians and to the women community, he should apologize properly to finish this.” Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav got up to speak on behalf of Khan, but drew sharp reaction from the treasury benches.
