Speaker Dhankhar left his chair in Rajya Sabha hurt by the allegations, opposition also walked out

Rajya Sabha: There was an uproar in the Rajya Sabha today over Vinesh Phogat's withdrawal from the Olympics. Leader of Opposition Kharge tried to raise this issue in the Rajya Sabha, but the Rajya Sabha Speaker did not allow it. When TMC MP Derek O'Brien tried to raise his voice, the Chairman warned him. Rajya Sabha Speaker Jagdeep Dhankhar warned Derek that if he repeated the same act, he would be expelled from the Rajya Sabha. After this, MPs of Congress-TMC and other opposition parties walked out of the House.

Dhankhar expressed grief

Then Speaker Dhankhar angrily said, 'The most senior leaders of Congress are also members of this House, I am watching right now and the way challenges are being given through words, through letters, through newspapers. I have seen how many wrong comments have been made.' This challenge is not being given to me, this challenge is being given to the post of Chairman. This challenge is being given because these people feel that the person sitting on this post is not worthy of it.

Saying just this, he got up from the chair and went away…

Dhankhar further said, 'I did not get enough support from the House. I have not reduced my efforts. Now the only option I have is not to run away from my oath.' What I saw today is how the member behaved physically. I don't think I will be able to sit here for a while. Saying just this, he stood up from the chair and left.
