New Delhi, Mar 20: Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj today demanded in the Lok Sabha that the issue of Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma's remarks against Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav should be referred to the Privileges Committee and Verma be dimissed from cabinet.



Speaking amidst slogan-raising by SP MPs in the well, Sushma Swaraj said Mulayam Singh Yadav was a respected leader, and the remarks by Beni Prasad Verma that Mulayam had taken commission for support, amounts to contempt and should be referred to the Privileges Committee.

"I and Mulayam ji may have ideological differences, but Beni Prasad Verma's remarks are condemnable. The government had earlier expressed regret over Verma's other remarks, but he has chosen to level charges against Mulayam ji again. This is unacceptable", said Swaraj.
