Adding that Khan crossed all the dignity while addressing the woman Speaker in Parliament, she called for a strict punishment against the SP leader. 

"Such repeated statements by Azam Khan prove that he is suffering from a mental disorder. In the Parliament yesterday, while addressing the woman Speaker he crossed the limits of mistreatment. There is a strong demand for parliamentary censorship such that Azam Khan is severely punished," wrote the former EAM in the tweet.
