Privilege notice over Rahul Gandhi's 'Jaitlie' tweet sent to LS speaker

Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday sent a privilege notice against Rahul Gandhi to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for further action, holding that "prima facie there is an issue of privilege", sources said.

Naidu sent the notice to the Lok Sabha speaker for further action as Gandhi is a member of the Lower House.

A complaint against Gandhi is already pending before the Ethics Committee of the Lok Sabha, chaired by BJP veteran L K Advani, after the speaker forwarded the same to it.
 

BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Bhupinder Yadav had given the privilege notice
