RS Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar Writes to LoP Kharge, Says Disruptions Unfortunate

News 18  

Rendering the House dysfunctional by making a demand to the Chair that cannot be acceded is unfortunate and against public interest, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar is learnt to have said in a letter to Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge. The Upper House witnessed repeated protests by opposition MPs who were demanding a discussion on the December 13 Parliament security breach and a statement by Home Minister Amit Shah on the issue. Citing the letter, the sources said Dhankhar expressed “pain” that his efforts to hold a meeting with Kharge to ensure smooth functioning of the House could not find the Congress leader’s favour. The three frenetic weeks of the Parliament’s Winter session saw a security breach in the Lok Sabha, the suspension of 146 MPs and the expulsion of Trinamool Congress member Mahua Moitra in the “bribe-for-query” case.
