New Delhi: The Special Protection Group (SPG) guarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi should show courtesy to Members of Parliament, Congress members demanded in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
Raising the issue T Subbarami Reddy (Congress) said he has given a breach of privilege notice under rule 188 against the SPG for being "rude" and "discourteous" to MPs. At a recent function of Modi at Vishakapatnam, "they were rude to me," he said.
"We don't question their duty but... they should show courtesy to MPs."
"How can they be rude to MPs," he asked.
Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien said the Chairman will examine the notice Reddy has given.
Congress MP Anand Sharma said when a member was narrating from personal experience, the issue should not get restricted to notices.
How can MPs be ill-treated... it is most unfortunate, Sharma said.
Kurien said Reddy himself has said he has given a notice which will now have to be decided by the Chairman.
Subramanian Swamy (BJP) said the scope of the notice should also include the SPG guarding Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi.
