The Congress on Tuesday demanded action against the BJP's Lok Sabha member from Porbandar Vitthal Radadiya for his alleged undignified conduct of kicking an elderly man.
The Congress made the demand in a letter to the Lok Sabha's Ethics Committee chairman and senior BJP leader L.K. Advani.
"This has been telecast on almost all TV channels and has gone viral on social media. The incident happened at a musical function and Vitthal Radadiya is seen repeatedly kicking an old man," read the letter.
"Undoubtedly, the conduct of Vitthal Radadiya is contrary to the standards laid down under the code of conduct for MPs. In fact, it amounts to an offence punishable under the penal code," it added.
