Himachal Pradesh Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania has served a breach of privilege notice to BJP Rajya Sabha member Harsh Mahajan. Pathania alleges that Mahajan made false allegations and cast aspersions on the Speaker's office during a recent visit to Chamba district.

According to Pathania, Mahajan's remarks undermine the dignity of the Speaker and members of the house. Pathania has demanded that Mahajan provide evidence for his allegations, clarify whom he referred to, and the context of his defamatory remarks.
