BJP leader Smriti Irani Thursday said her name in the Rajya Sabha bulletin for violation of rules was like a "badge of honour".

"In the ... house, I raised a slogan saying Pakistan 'murdabad'," Irani said.

"If that is a violation of etiquette, I take it as a badge of honour," she said.

Twenty Bharatiya Janata Party members and two from the Telugu Desam Party were named for violation of etiquette in the Rajya Sabha's bulletin for Wednesday.

The opposition called it an attempt to gag them and questioned why the members of the ruling Congress, who were allegedly involved in spats, were not named.

The house was also stalled over the issue Thursday.
