  • Leading the INDIA bloc charge against Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday accused the Rajya Sab.

In a recent development in the Indian Parliament, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has accused Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar of running the House based on political considerations rather than established parliamentary rules. Kharge's criticism came after Dhankhar rejected 22 notices from opposition MPs under Rule 267, which allows for the suspension of regular business to discuss urgent public matters. Kharge argued that this selective application of rules was unfair and that the opposition was not being given a fair chance to raise critical issues. He emphasized that the Rajya Sabha should operate on the principles of fairness and equality, not on the whims of political affiliations. This accusation has sparked a debate on the impartiality of the Rajya Sabha's proceedings and the role of the Chairman in maintaining the House's decorum and functionality.
