A legislator from India\u2019s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made Islamophobic remarks and used communal slurs against a Muslim MP inside the parliament.<\/p>\n

During a debate on Thursday on the success of India\u2019s historic moon mission, BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri called Kunwar Danish Ali of the opposition Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) a \u201cterrorist\u201d and a \u201cpimp\u201d among other offending remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou extremist\u2026 I am telling you, you circumcised,\u201d the parliamentarian from the South Delhi constituency in the Indian capital said in Hindi, using a slur often used for Muslims in India.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will see this mulla outside,\u201d said Bidhuri in an apparent threat at the end of a viral video, as at least two senior BJP leaders and former union ministers laughed, sitting next to him.<\/p>\n

Mulla is another pejorative word for Muslims in South Asia.<\/p>\n

The remarks inside the newly inaugurated parliament building sparked angry reactions from the opposition parties and social media users who demanded strict action against Bidhuri.<\/p>\n

Ali told Al Jazeera he was upset and hurt by the remarks, but \u201cnot shocked\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to ask Mohan Bhagwat and Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi: Is this what RSS teaches to its cadres in their schools?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The RSS refers to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or the National Association of Volunteers, the ruling BJP\u2019s far-right ideological mentor that aims to create an ethnic Hindu state in the world\u2019s most populous country. Bhagwat heads the RSS, which boasts of millions of lifetime members in India and abroad.<\/p>\n
