Should I say I am not allowed to speak in Parliament because I am Dalit: Kharge

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 20 December 2023
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes dragging castes into every issue and questions the need to mention his Dalit origins when not allowed to speak in Rajya Sabha. He condemns the mimicry incident involving V-P Jagdeep Dhankhar and calls for protecting members in the House. Kharge also raises concerns over the security breach and the absence of statements from PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He accuses the government of running the House in a one-sided manner and urges an apology. The incident occurred during the opposition's protest against the suspension of MPs.
