Jagdeep Dhankhar on Chaudhary Charan Singh: Rajya Sabha MP and his grandson Jayant Chaudhary gave a statement in the Rajya Sabha on Saturday (February 10) during the budget session of Parliament on the decision to award Bharat Ratna to former PM Chaudhary Charan Singh. During his statement, objection was raised by Congress member Jairam Ramesh in the House. After this there was noise from the opposition members. During the speech, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar kept asking opposition leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Jairam Ramesh and other members to sit, but they ignored his request.
The Speaker got a little angry at the continuous noise and ruckus in the House and asked Leader of Opposition Kharge, ‘Why are you shouting like a commando? During this, Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge was asked whether you have control over your members or not? During this, after the permission of the Chairman, Kharge also gave his statement in the House. He also raised questions in the House regarding the rules on the Speaker.
‘Do not use such language for Chaudhary Charan Singh’
Dhankhar asked Kharge and other Congress leaders not to use such language for Charan Singh. I will not tolerate the insult of Chaudhary Charan Singh. He was in favor of impeccable public life, impeccable honesty and commitment towards farmers. I have seen how Congress created chaos and uproar on this too. He said that I condemn this shouting and sloganeering. The Chairman said that it is very wrong to create ruckus in the discussion on awarding Bharat Ratna to Chaudhary Charan Singh.
‘Congress has no time for Chaudhary Charan Singh’
Dhankhar said that such behavior should create a feeling of shame. Congress has no time for Bharat Ratna Chaudhary Charan Singh. By creating such an atmosphere inside the House on the issue of Chaudhary Charan Singh, you are hurting every farmer of the country, due to which our heads should bow in shame.
‘The echo of the decision reached every corner of the country’
Continuing his statement, Jayant Chaudhary said that the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to give Bharat Ratna to former PM Chaudhary Charan Singh. This is a very big decision. The echo of your decision has reached every corner of the country and Diwali has been celebrated in every village. He also mentioned an incident to apprise the House and said that when Chaudhary Charan Singh became the Prime Minister, the village people had reached Delhi with jaggery and sweets to celebrate.
Jayant said that expressing happiness over the decision to award him Bharat Ratna, farmers also distributed jaggery in Connaught Place on Friday (February 9). This shows that this decision is not just related to the family of Chaudhary Charan Singh. This shows that it has been decided to empower the farmers, lower class people and people from the deprived society who are not in the main stream.
‘Glimpse of Chaudhary Charan Singh’s thoughts in the working style of Modi government’
The RLD leader said that political analysts believe that Indira Gandhi had charismatic power, in the same way people used to come from far and wide to hear, touch and understand Chaudhary Charan Singh better. He said that I have been in the opposition for 10 years, earlier I used to sit on that side and now I am sitting on this side for some time. I have seen that in the last 10 years, the working style of the present government also reflects the thoughts of Chaudhary Charan Singh.
‘Chaudhary Charan Singh’s quote comes to mind in PM Modi’s thoughts’
Jayant Chaudhary said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi When the Government of India makes women empowerment its platform, throws light on the malpractices of defecation in the rural environment, creates awareness in every village, then I remember Chaudhary Charan Singh ji’s quote.
