Dismissing BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s move to initiate a “Substantive Motion” against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal on Thursday (February 12, 2026) said the party was not intimidated by such steps.
“We are not bothered about any Privilege or Substantive Motions. If you want to hang us, we are ready for that also,” Mr. Venugopal told reporters in the Parliament complex.
His remarks came after Mr. Dubey told reporters in the Parliament complex that he had submitted a notice to initiate a Substantive Motion against Mr. Gandhi to cancel his membership of the House.

Mr. Venugopal linked the development to what Mr. Gandhi had said in the Lok Sabha during the Budget discussion on Wednesday, much of which has been expunged.
