Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar
expressed disapproval of Trinamool Congress’ suspended MP Kalyan Banerjee
mocking him during a protest on Parliament premises, saying that the mimicry is
“ridiculous” and “unacceptable”.
Kalyan Banerjee, during the protest with
other suspended MPs at Parliament’s Makar Dwar, was seen mimicking the Vice
President while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was purportedly seen filming the
Trinamool Congress MP using his mobile phone.
As the House reconvened at 12 noon after
being adjourned, Dhankhar took note of the incident and said, “Office of
Chairman, Rajya Sabha and Office of Speaker is very different. Political
parties will have their cross currents, they will have exchanges, but imagine a
senior leader of your party, video graphing another member of another party.
Mimicry of the Chairman, mimicry of Speaker. How ridiculous, how shameful, how
unacceptable.”
