Union Minister Smriti Irani today wondered why a woman member of Parliament cannot be addressed as a lady.
Her remarks came after Congress's Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary and Sougata Ray of Trinamool Congress objected to Ms Irani referring to Geetha Viswanath Vanga of the YSRCP as a lady member during the Question Hour in the Lok Sabha.
They said the minister should have addressed her as an "honourable member", to which Ms Irani said whatever she said was not unparliamentary and referring to a woman member as a lady was not wrong.
