Congress president during the winter session of Parliament in New Delhi
In a blow to Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday sent a breach of privilege motion against the Gandhi scion to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
A tweet misspelling Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's name had landed Congress president Rahul Gandhi in trouble.
On December 28, Yadav had given notice under Rule 187 alleging that Rahul Gandhi had "intentionally, maliciously and disrespectfully twisted" the name of the Leader of the House. Rahul is a Lok Sabha MP and action against him on a privilege motion can be decided only by the Speaker. Rahul's tweet had followed the statement of Jaitley, who is Leader of Rajya Sabha, in the House on December 27 as a part of a solution negotiated with Congress to resolve the standoff over PM Modi's remarks running down ex-PM Manmohan Singh and ex-Vice-President HamidAnsari.
Yadav had said Gandhi's tweet was derogatory and a "deliberate misrepresentation" of proceedings in the Rajya Sabha.
In 1961, Blitz editor R.K. Karanjia was held guilty of gross breach of privilege of the Lok Sabha.
The Congress defended its leader and hit back, claiming that many BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had also committed breach of privilege on many counts.

The journey of progress has slackened but Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is not to blame for this, he remarked. She said Iqama just means a visa and by giving such a verdict, "they" made a joke out of this country.
Mr. Naidu noted in his speech that members need to introspect seriously on their conduct in the House, which lost nearly 34 hours [of the session] due to frequent disruptions. Sources also said former PM Manmohan Singh had seen the two statements before they were made in the House.
After the statement, leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad had disassociated the Congress from remarks that might have been made by party leaders during the Gujarat campaign against the Prime Minister.
Affronted the dignity of the House besides attempting to obstruct the House in performance of its functions by vitiating the political atmosphere.
Privilege committees of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had in their joint sitting in 1954 laid down the procedure by which a question of breach of privilege could be raised in any House against a member of the other House.
"On examination, prima facie there is an issue of privilege", Naidu said while referring the privilege notice to the Lok Sabha speaker, the sources told PTI.
A Privilege Motion can be moved against an individual, any in-house committee or even the entire house.
