Strong protests in Rajya Sabha as Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar expressed displeasure over Jaya Bachchan’s comments and opposition’s demands. You want to destabilise the entire country, Dhankhar told the opposition protesting in the House. “Kharge, I will not be a party to letting this House become a centre of unrest,” he said. “You are determined to get your way at the cost of the Constitution,” Dhankhar said.
In Rajya Sabha, the opposition walked out of the House, with Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar calling it a “sad day”. Dhankhar told the ruling party present in the House that the world is recognising us and we are moving towards a “developed India”, but “these people want to create obstacles”. Dhankhar said in the House, “India is continuously leading in its third term – history is being made after six decades. India has a leader in the form of a Prime Minister who has global recognition – the country is proud of this.”
Parliament Session: Irresponsible opposition is pushing the country towards anarchy – Shivraj Singh Chouhan
Speaking in the House, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan said, “This House is not just a brick-mortar building, it is the sacred temple of democracy. I have been a member of the Lok Sabha 6 times and the Vidhan Sabha 6 times. But I have never seen such unbridled behavior of the opposition in my life. This is not only an insult to the chair, it is an insult to the democratic values, democracy and the Constitution of the country. Today it has been proved that the irresponsible opposition is trying to push the country towards anarchy. The opposition should apologize for this.”
Parliament Session: We are with Jaya Bachchan- Congress MP Pramod Tiwari
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari said, “It has been a tradition that when the leader of the House or the leader of the opposition, which is a constitutional post, stands up to speak, both should be given priority. But this is not being followed. Ghanshyam Tiwari has used such language and tone in the House, which lacks dignity. After this, he accepted his mistake but in a personal capacity. We demand that since the incident happened in the House, he should accept his mistake in the House. Jaya Bachchan, who is the most senior member, has also said the same thing and we all stand with her.”
Parliament Session News: What did Jaya Bachchan say on the entire controversy?
Jaya Bachchan said, “I objected to the tone of the chairperson. We are not school going children. Some of us are senior citizens. I was disturbed by his tone of speaking and especially when the opposition leader stood up to speak, he switched off the mic. How can you do this? You should let the opposition leader speak.”
Jaya Bachchan further said, “I mean using unparliamentary words every time, which I don’t want to say in front of everyone here. You are a rowdy, you are ‘brainless’, these things are said. They said you may be a celebrity, I don’t care. I am not asking them to care. I am saying that I am a member of Parliament. This is my fifth term. I know what I am saying. The way things are being said in Parliament these days, no one has ever spoken before. I want an apology.”
