Moitra had reportedly used the word for BJP MP Ramesh Bhiduri.
Demanding an apology, Union Parliamentary Minister Pralhad Joshi said he would talk to Trinamool floor leader (Sudip Bandyopadhyay) on the issue.
"I would ask them to apologise but if she doesn't, then it's their culture," Joshi said in the Lok Sabha.
