RJD MP Sudhakar Singh Seeks Speaker's Intervention Over Bihar Defamation Notice
RJD MP Sudhakar Singh has requested Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's intervention after receiving a defamation notice from Bihar's DGP Kundan Krishnan, sent via a private law firm. Singh alleges the notice may obstruct his parliamentary duties and questions the state's approval of the notice. He has asked for an investigation and possible referral to the Privilege Committee, also raising concerns about the legal representation's constitutional validity. The notice demands an apology for Singh's remarks, threatening a Rs 5 crore defamation suit if unmet.
