Sharma had, on Thursday, said that Modi suffered from "oral diarrhoea".

Jain said in a release that Modi was not only the future prime minister of the country but was also a three-time chief minister of Gujarat. The former Chandigarh MP said Sharma's remark made him unbecoming of the office of speaker.

Jain said that it was unfortunate for the country that a person such as Sharma was the speaker of the Haryana assembly.
