New Delhi: BJP leader Jaya Prada on Friday slammed Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan for his sexist remarks against BJP MP Rama Devi in the Lok Sabha, and demanded his disqualification from the House.
Khan, who is known for making controversial statements, had also made objectionable remarks against Jaya Prada during the Lok Sabha polls.
Jaya Prada, who had unsuccessfully contested the general elections against Khan from Rampur, said it is not a new thing for him to make such comments about women.
Khan has an "unhealthy mindset" and one does not know what remarks he will make, the actor-turned-politician said in a statement.
"He does not know that Lok Sabha is a temple to which leaders are elected and is a platform for addressing the people's problems. Azam Khan has insulted the House by making indecent comments," Jaya Prada said.
The House should take action against him for his remarks, the former MP said.
"He should be disqualified from Lok Sabha. He should be taught a lesson that those who insult Parliament will be kept outside," she said.
Khan on Thursday courted a fresh controversy when he made a sexist remark against Devi, who was the officiating in-charge of the Lok Sabha, sparking an uproar in the House.
