Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Jaya Bachchan: There was an atmosphere of humour in the entire Rajya Sabha on Friday. Samajwadi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bach said, I am Jaya Amitabh Bach, I am asking you… On hearing this, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Ghankhar started laughing. It is worth noting that recently Jaya Bachchan had expressed her displeasure when Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh addressed her as Jaya Amitabh Bachchan.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said, I am your fan and I am also a fan of Amitabh ji. Hearing this, Jaya Bachchan politely folded her hands.
What is the whole matter?
Jaya Bachchan said in the House, Jaya Amitabh Bachchan, I am asking you, Dhankhar started laughing as soon as he said this. Then Jaya Bachchan said, did you get a lunch break today? Then Dhankhar replied that this is the reason why you often take the name of Jairamji. You cannot eat food without taking his name.
Earlier, MP Jaya Bachchan was upset when she was addressed as Jaya Amitabh Bachchan in Rajya Sabha. When Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh called her Jaya Amitabh Bachchan, she protested. And said, you can just say Jaya Bachchan. Women have no existence, they will be known only by their husband's name. Who has no existence. They have no reach.
It is worth noting that Jaya Bachchan is active in politics after working in Bollywood for a long time. She has become a Rajya Sabha MP of SP for the fifth consecutive time. She has also been in constant discussion for women's rights.
