Parliament Winter Session: There was a huge uproar in the Rajya Sabha on Friday (13 December 2024) regarding the no-confidence motion against the Chairman. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar of not running the House as per rules, to which the Vice President responded. Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, replying to the Congress, said, “You people are pained that how a farmer’s son is sitting on this chair. I will sacrifice my life for the country, but will not bow down.”
I am a labourer’s son – Kharge Chairman’s reply
On this, Congress leader Kharge said that you are the son of a farmer and I am the son of a labourer. Accusing the Speaker of bias, he said, “You are giving a chance to BJP MPs to speak, while not to Congress. We have not come here to listen to your praise.”
Congress MP Kharge said, “It is the responsibility of the Chairman to run the House. The Chairman insults the opposition MPs. The Chairman who is not respecting me, how can I respect you? You are insulting me.”
The opposition is entitled to bring a motion against me – Chairman
On the no-confidence motion, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said that the opposition parties said that you should talk to me. He said, “I am personally hurt that the main opposition party has presented this as a complaint against the Speaker. They are entitled to bring a motion against me, but this is a deviation from constitutional provisions. Every day “Complaints keep coming against the chairman only.”
Chairman Dhankhar said, “The opposition flouted the Constitution. I will stick to my oath. I appeal to you in the name of the Constitution. Talk to me in my chamber. There is also a request to the leader of the House. We will work together.” I did not fail in giving respect.”
