Mallikarjun Kharge Vs Jagdeep Dhankhar Showdown In Parliament

The opposition was forced to table the no-confidence motion against Rajya Sabha Chair Jagdeep Dhankhar because he is "biggest disruptor" of the Upper House, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge claimed Wednesday afternoon. "His actions have hurt the dignity of India," Mr Kharge said, as he also stressed there is no "personal fight" against the Rajya Sabha Chairman. He added "We have been compelled to take this step. We have already given a notice. The opposition is here to speak, standing together, on this sensitive issue. I am sad to say the Chairman left us with no option. For three years, he gave us neither time nor space to raise critical issues." The motion triggered (inevitably) a row as BJP MPs hit back. Both Houses were then adjourned.
