Nadda attacks Opposition leaders over mimicking row

BJP chief JP Nadda on Wednesday attacked the protesting I.N.D.I.A block leaders saying that a few of them took up the job of a joker and imitated Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar as an alternative of taking part in debates in Parliament.

Addressing an occasion on Wednesday, Nadda mentioned, “…You send leaders to discuss and debate in Parliament. But yesterday some people took up the job of a joker and imitated instead of debating in Parliament.”

Referring to TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, Nadda mentioned that an MP was imitating the Vice President in Parliament and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi was making a video of it.

“Congress, about which it is said that its history is more than 100 years old. The leader of that Congress is insulting the farmer’s son, Jat’s son and OBC representative and the person holding the constitutional post of Vice President…,” mentioned Nadda.

TMC MP Banerjee, whereas protesting with different suspended MPs at Parliament’s Makar Dwar, was seen imitating the Vice President, whereas Congress chief Rahul Gandhi filmed the Trinamool MP utilizing his cellphone.

Different leaders too we seen having a great chortle as Banerjee imitated Dhankar.

Because the Home resumed at midday after being adjourned, Dhankhar took cognizance of the incident and mentioned, “Office of Chairman, Rajya Sabha and Office of Speaker is very different. Political parties will have their differences, they will have exchanges, but imagine a senior leader of your party, videographing another member of another party. Mimicry of the Chairman, mimicry of Speaker. How ridiculous, how shameful, how unacceptable.”

Earlier within the day, Dhankhar mentioned that he acquired a name from Prime Minister Narendra Modi who expressed nice ache over the abject theatrics of some MPs throughout a protest on Parliament premises.

Taking to X, Dhankhar wrote, “Received a telephone call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He expressed great pain over the abject theatrics of some MPs and that too in the Parliament complex yesterday.”

He mentioned that PM Modi advised him that he too has been on the receiving finish of such insults however such a factor occurring to Constitutional chair was unlucky.

“He (PM Modi) told me that he has been at the receiving end of such insults for twenty years and counting but the fact that it could happen to a Constitutional office like the Vice President of India and that too in the Parliament was unfortunate,” wrote Dhankar.

Dhankar mentioned that he advised the Prime Minister that the antics of some received’t stop him from performing his obligation and upholding the rules enshrined within the Structure.

“I am committed to those values from the bottom of my heart. None of the insults will make me change my path,” added Dhankar.
