Amid a row with BJP MPs over the Parliamentary panel headed by him raising questions over the Pegasus row, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said “some elements” have reduced it to a “ping pong match”, going against the spirit of the Parliament. Asked about reports of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey moving a privilege motion against him, Tharoor told reporters that it has no validity as no constituted procedure was followed in introducing the motion that requires the Speaker to get the leave of the House before it can be introduced.
