Parliament Budget Session | Uproar in Lok Sabha as opposition accuses a BJP member of glorifying the banned practice of ‘Sati’

The Hindu  

The Lok Sabha on Tuesday had to to be briefly adjourned during the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address because of protests by opposition members who alleged that a BJP member had glorified the practice ‘Sati’ in his speech. Joshi, however, clarified that he did not support the banned practice, and perhaps due to an error in translation from Hindi, his reference to “satitva” had got mixed up with Sati. Opposition members, including Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, Dayanidhi Maran and A. Raja of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ; Supriya Sule of the Nationalist Congress Party ; K. Muraleedharan of the Congress party; and Imtiaz Jaleel of the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen were on their feet, alleging the BJP member had glorified the practice of ‘Sati’. Mr. Joshi asserted that he had not made any reference to the practice of ‘Sati’ but had mentioned that Padmavati had performed ‘Jauhar’ to protect her honour.
