BSP lawmaker Danish Ali has accused BJP is "trying its best to create a false narrative".
Ali broke down after facing Islamophic abuse from BJP lawmaker Ramesh Bidhuri in Parliament last week.
His response comes as BJP MPs seek to justify the vile outburst by alleging Ali 'threw the first stone' - i.e., he used casteist slurs against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
On social media platform X heard defending himself after Ramesh Bidhuri's "abuses and extreme provocation".
In the video a clearly distraught and emotional Ali screams: "Sir, sir... honourable member is saying 'terrorist'! To whom is he saying 'terrorist'? Are there terrorists in this House?"

"What (is he) saying? Can any terrorist enter into this House? He must apologise... yeh kya hain? What is this? How can he be allowed? How can he be allowed to say this?" he said demands of Kodikunnil Suresh, a Congress MP from Kerala who was then in the Chair.
Suresh has sought Ramesh Bidhuri's immediate suspension for the use of "vulgar expletives".
"... I didn't utter a single word that could harm the sanctity of the temple of democracy. Even I didn't repeat what Ramesh Bidhuri said about me and my community. In spite of it BJP is trying its best to create a false narrative," Ali said.

The BJP leaders have alleged Bidhuri's crass comments were the result of Ali insulting the PM Modi in an earlier speech.
The BJP's Nishikant Dubey has demanded the Lok Sabha Speaker investigate Danish Ali's "indecent words and conduct...".
His colleague, Ravi Kisan Shukla has called for an inquiry into "unparliamentary" language - that used by Ali.
Earlier, Bidhuri met BJP president JP Nadda on Monday - presumably to explain himself after receiving a show-cause notice - but, so far, he remains unsanctioned, either by the party or the Lok Sabha.
