New Delhi: There was a lot of drama in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday on the issue of India’s star wrestler Vinesh Phogat being disqualified from the Paris Olympics. When opposition leaders sought permission to speak on the issue of Vinesh Phogat, TMC MP Derek O’Brien started shouting in the House. After this, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar got angry. He got so angry that he scolded Derek O’Brien.
Speaker Jagdeep Dhankhar scolded Mamta Banerjee’s MP Derek O’Brien in the House. He scolded him and then left the Speaker’s chair and went to his chamber. The Speaker scolded Congress leader Jairam Ramesh who was present in the House. He said, ‘Mr. Ramesh, don’t laugh, I know you.’ He also told Kharge that we cannot allow what you are saying.
What did the chairman say after taking the name of Vinesh?
Earlier, the Speaker said, ‘They (opposition) think that only they are hurting. The whole country is in pain because of the girl (Vinesh). Everyone is sharing this pain, but politicizing it is the biggest insult to the girl. That girl still has a long way to go.’ He reprimanded the MP and said, ‘How dare you shout at the Speaker. Your conduct is the worst in the House.’
“How dare you shout that?”
Interrupting Kartikeya Sharma’s speech, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said, ‘Mr. Derek O’Brien. You are shouting at the Chair. I condemn your behavior. How dare you shout at the Chair. Next time I will show you the door. Can anyone tolerate this kind of behavior?…’
