Independent Member of Parliament from Bihar Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav on Tuesday alleged in Lok Sabha that Rashtriya Janata Dal member in Rajya Sabha had threatened Shiv Sena MP Suresh Jadhav in the lobby for raising the fodder scam issue.

Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, leader of the RJD in Lok Sabha, immediately objected to this saying Yadav could not take the name of a member of another House.

Speaker Manohar Joshi observed that since the member belonged to another House, allegations could not be made against him in this House.

Joshi said whatever had happened, Jadhav could narrate it when he speaks on the no-confidence motion against the Vajpayee government.

Shiv Sena member Suresh Jadhav seconded the allegation and said he was facing a threat to his life

Lok Sabha Speaker Manohar Joshi then directed the government to look into the allegation.

Joshi said the parliamentary affairs minister should bring it to the notice of the home minister and proper action should be taken.

He also observed that the matter should be referred to the Rajya Sabha chairman.
