Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said his "self-respect had been challenged" during the Rajya Sabha proceedings after his mic was turned off while he was speaking. The move came amid an uproar in the house, with opposition members raising slogans, demanding a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the three-month-long ethnic clashes in Manipur. In response, members of the ruling BJP-led alliance began chanting 'Modi, Modi', plunging the house into chaos. The proceedings were adjourned until noon.
