John Brittas Files Privilege Notice Against BJP MP Sushmita Dev

A politician named John Brittas works in India's Parliament, in a house called the Rajya Sabha.

Another politician, Sushmita Dev, said something mean about him during a meeting.

The word she used can be used to make fun of people from South India.

John Brittas felt the word was unfair and insulting.

He told the leader of the Rajya Sabha, Mr. C P Radhakrishnan, about what happened.

In Parliament, there is a special rule that protects politicians from being insulted.

Breaking this rule is called a breach of privilege.

So John Brittas filed a formal complaint about it.

Some other politicians from the state of Kerala came with him to show their support.

They believe the person who said the mean word should be held accountable.
