John Brittas moves privilege motion against BJP MP Sushmita Dev over ‘lungi wala’ remarkCPI-M MP John Brittas has moved a privilege motion against BJP MP Sushmita Dev over an alleged “lungi wala” remark. Speaking to IANS, Brittas said: “I have moved a privilege motion notice against Sushmita Dev for her derogatory remark, ‘lungi wala,’ which stereotypes South Indians and is not acceptable. “One of our colleagues in the House was insulted by being called ‘lungi wala.’ “Our colleague John Brittas comes to the House wearing a ‘lungi’, which is part of the culture of South India, the culture of Malayalam and Keralite people, Tamil culture, Karnataka culture, Odisha culture, Andhra culture, and Telangana culture. Today, for this very reason, all opposition parties raised this issue inside the House along with John Brittas,” he told reporters.
