New Delhi, August 9 (Press ki taquat bureau): Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and actor-politician Jaya Bachchan were involved in a face-off on Friday after Bachchan raised objection to his “tone” while giving her floor to speak and the former asserting that even a celebrity like her needs to follow decorum.
Opposition parties also staged a walkout following the exchanges between Dhankhar and Bachchan, a Samajwadi Party MP.
Later, while talking to reporters in the Parliament complex, Bachchan said she was upset with the tone of the Chairman, and also the way the mic of Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge was switched off when he stood up to speak in the House.
The trouble started when the SP member wanted to make a point on an ongoing heated discussion between Opposition parties and the Chairman in the Rajya Sabha over certain remarks made by BJP MP Ghanshyam Tiwari on Kharge a few days ago.
