Soon after listed papers were laid on the table of the House, Mr. Brittas raised the issue, describing it as a matter concerning the dignity of the House and respect for India’s diversity. Our Constitution celebrates our diversity,” Mr. Brittas said. Treasury Bench members, however, insisted that Ms. Dev should also be given an opportunity to present her version.

Nadda also urged the Chair to allow Ms. Dev to speak.
