Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge suddenly got angry while addressing the Rajya Sabha. He vented his anger on the former Prime Minister's son and BJP MP Neeraj Shekhar. When he was giving a speech, Neeraj Shekhar started interrupting him. Then Kharge lost his temper and advised Neeraj by saying something that created an uproar in the House.

 

Kharge was speaking on the falling rate of the rupee when...

 

There was also a debate in the Rajya Sabha on the motion of thanks on the President's address. During the debate, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also addressed the House. When he was speaking on the fall of the rupee against the US dollar, Neeraj Shekhar interrupted him.

 

Kharge was saying in his speech that unemployment is increasing in the country. In 2013, when Narendra Modi was the CM of Gujarat, he used to say that the rupee is in the hospital, but at that time the value of rupee against one dollar was Rs 60.

 

Said this to Neeraj Shekhar

Kharge was speaking when BJP MP Neeraj Shekhar started saying something in between. Kharge got angry at being interrupted and said in anger that 'I was a friend of your father too. I used to roam around with him too... sit quietly.' As soon as Kharge said this, there was an uproar in the Rajya Sabha.

 

Chairman Dhankhar calmed them down.

Then Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar asked both of them to keep quiet. He also said that 'Chandrashekharji's work in the country and his respect is incomparable.' He appealed to Kharge to take back the statement given about Chandrashekhar. On this, both Kharge and Neeraj Shekhar said that whenever they meet, they behave very pleasantly and cordially.

 

Kharge gave this clarification.

Kharge later clarified that 'he and late former PM Chandrashekhar were arrested together. He told Shekhar that 'I said this because your father was my friend and you got up as if...'

 

Meanwhile, the chairman said, 'Your father...' Should such expressions be made in the House? We should have respect for Chandrashekhar ji. You should take back this statement.

 

Kharge cornered BJP over Manmohan Singh.

 

On this, Kharge said that it has never been his nature to insult anyone. After this, he accused the BJP of insulting former PM late Manmohan Singh. He said that the BJP has said a lot about his silence. Someone said that he cannot run the government. He tolerated many such insulting things and did not give any comment on his behalf in the interest of the country.

 

Let us tell you that the former SP MP joined the BJP in 2019. His father Chandrashekhar was an MP from Ballia and he was the Prime Minister of the country from October 1990 to June 1991 i.e. for about six months.
