You Are Our Guardian”: M Kharge’s ‘Protection’ Request To Jagdeep Dhankhar

New Delhi: 

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge today complained to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar that the Opposition doesn’t get enough chances to put forth their views on various subjects inside the house, and requested that the cameras inside the parliament, which live-telecast the proceedings, should focus equally on the opposition MPs when they are speaking. 

“We don’t get the chance outside. We do here, so please let us have it,” he said while addressing the Rajya Sabha on the first day of the special session of the Parliament on Monday. All MPs should have the freedom to speak even if he himself might be wrong at times, Mr Kharge told Mr Dhankhar. “Even for my small mistakes, you punish me harshly. They (BJP MPs) make such huge mistakes, the entire country watches, but you forgive everything. I request you to balance both,” he said.What’s mentioned here on the record sends a message outside too, that the people’s issues are being discussed, he said, adding that the ‘constitutional work’ that the MPs do in the house should get encouragement from him and also from the government.
