"Vegetable Knife For Bypass Surgery": Jagdeep Dhankhar On No-Trust Motion | Read
"Never use a vegetable-cutting knife for bypass surgery" - Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar declared Tuesday, in his first comments since the opposition's motion of no-confidence in his stewardship of the Upper House was junked for procedural irregularities.
"Just look at the notice against the Vice President... (as Vice President, Mr Dhankhar is the de facto Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha) ... You'll be shocked. (Former Prime Minister) Chandra Shekarji once said, 'Never use a vegetable cutting-knife for bypass surgery'," he said.
"That notice wasn't even a vegetable-cutting knife... it was rusted. There was haste. When I read it, I was astonished," Mr Dhankhar said at gathering of women journalists, "But what surprised me more was that none of you read it. If you had... you wouldn't have slept for days!"
