The clash between Congress and TDP in the Lok Sabha today is unlikely to subside with one of the suspended TDP members writing to Speaker Meira Kumar against four Congress members, including Sandip Dikshit, accusing them of threatening them.

N Siva Prasad has in a letter to the Speaker named S Rajaiah, Ponnam Prabhakar and Madhu Yakshi Goud, all three Congress members from Telangana and Dikshit, accusing them of using unparliamentary language against the agitating TDP MPs and threatening them.

Party parliamentary party leader Nama Nageshwar Rao has also written to the Speaker seeking "severe action" against the Congress members "to avoid repetition of similar behaviour" by any member.
 

Dikshit has already accused the TDP members of threatening him and his party colleagues.

When they told TDP members to come out of the House and talk,instead of causing disruptions, "they were using abusive language in Telugu language," and threatened the Congress members, Dikshit said.

Rao said he will move a privilege notice against Dikshit tomorrow.
