New Delhi: The BJP has moved a privilege motion in RajyaSabha against Congress president Rahul Gandhi for poking fun at finance minister Arun Jaitley and "twisting'' his name. 

Chairman Venkaiah Naidu said he was examining the motion moved by BJP MP BhupendraYadav.

"The notice given by (BJP member) BhupendraYadav regarding a privilege motion is before me. I have to examine it and then take a view. I will be going through the privilege motion and take an appropriate decision," Naidu said as the House assembled after a brief adjournment.

The House was adjourned during the morning session as Congress MPs continued to protest against Union minister Anantkumar Hegde's controversial remarks on secularism and the changing of the Constitution. On the issue of the privilege motion, Naidu reminded the members that a "solemn agreement" had been reached between the leader of the House Arun Jaitley and leader of opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad with all the other members, too, endorsing it.

"Anybody outside commenting on that agreement is not fair and good for the House and for the system also. Anyhow, whatever it is, I will be going through the privilege motion and take an appropriate decision," Vice-President Naidu said.

During the zero hour, Yadav said he had given a notice under Rule 187 and alleged that the Congress chief had "intentionally, maliciously and disrespectfully twisted" the finance minister's name in a tweet.

"I want to say that the way he has tweeted the name of the leader of the House falls under the category of privilege," the BJP member said and sought a ruling from the chair on the notice.
