Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan today took some moments in parliament to clarify that a controversy involving Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia - in which he has demanded a public apology from two BJP parliamentarians - was the result of a mistake by her office. Mr Scindia, a Congress MP from Madhya Pradesh, has accused the BJP's Virender Kumar and Manohar Utwal of defamation over the allegation that a hospital building was "purified" with holy water from the river Ganga before his visit. Mr Scindia yesterday offered to resign from parliament if allegations of being "anti- Dalit" were proved against him, demanding an unconditional public apology from two BJP lawmakers for their comments against him in the Lok Sabha. The Speaker said today that the BJP leaders had never made any direct allegation at Mr Scindia, that a mistake by her office made it seem that he was being accused."I checked the records and the uncorrected statement of Virender Kumar, he spoke about Mr Scindia's parliamentary representative, not about him. But my office forgot to delete certain references that caused Scindia to be upset," Ms Mahajan said. The BJP leaders had based the allegation on local Congress leader Amit Tawre's comment that the hospital trauma centre would be "purified" before Jyotiraditya Scindia, who belongs to the former royal family of Gwalior, visited.
