Jaya Bachchan Takes on Jagdeep Dhankhar: Demands Apology After Heated Rajya Sabha Clash

Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan voiced strong objections following a tense exchange with Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Bachchan criticised the tone used by the Chair, asserting that MPs should not be treated like "school children," especially senior members of Parliament. She expressed particular frustration over the Chairman's decision to cut off the microphone when the Leader of the Opposition attempted to speak, calling it an undemocratic act. Bachchan further condemned the use of what she described as "unparliamentary language," recounting how Dhankhar dismissed her stature as a celebrity, stating, "You may be a celebrity, I do not care." In response, Bachchan emphasised her long-standing experience as a parliamentarian, noting that she was now serving her fifth term. Deeply offended by the conduct in the House, she demanded an apology, arguing that the current discourse in Parliament had reached an unprecedented low. #JagdeepDhankhar #JayaBachchan #RajyaSabha #ParliamentDebate #VerbalSpat #UpperHouseUproar #PoliticalTensions #IndianPolitics #ConstitutionalCrisis #DemocracyDebate #SamajwadiParty #OppositionVsGovernment #PoliticalClash #JagdeepVsJaya #ParliamentShowdown ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.334~
