Privileges Committee takes 'serious view' of complaint against Jairam Ramesh
Nov-24-2025

The Rajya Sabha Privileges Committee has taken a ‘serious view’ of the complaint against Congress leader Jairam Ramesh in which it was alleged that he had made ‘continual and deliberate disrespectful observations against Rajya Sabha Chairman’.

The committee, chaired by Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh, met today to examine the complaint filed by BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi in April 2023. According to people aware of the meeting, the panel described the matter as serious and may summon Ramesh again for further clarification. Members present included Sudhanshu Trivedi, Deepak Prakash, Kartikeya Sharma, Surendra Singh Nagar and GK Vasan. 

The complaint pertains to Congress leader’s remarks in which he allegedly said that the Chairman should not be ‘cheerleader’ of the ruling dispensation. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh told the Rajya Sabha Privileges Committee he had no intention to make disrespectful remarks against the Chair. 

The Rajya Sabha privileges committee comprises 10 members across various political parties. The committee examines every question of privilege referred to it by the House or by the Chairman and determines with reference to the facts of each case whether a breach of privilege is involved. If the committee finds that a privilege breach has occurred, then it finds out the nature of the breach, the circumstances leading to it and makes recommendations accordingly.
