Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar while addressing an event on ayurveda in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut responded to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s claim on the mike issue. The Vice President in his address thwarted claims by the Congress leader and termed Gandhi’s claims to be untrue.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar in his statement said that a narrative is set by some people about microphones being switched off in the parliament of the world’s largest democracy. He further said that nothing can be more untrue than this.
Dhankar, in his address, also requested the Patanjali Managing director Balakrishna to make a medicine that can restore the dignity of the parliament. The Vice President also said that the conduct in parliament and legislative assemblies need to be exemplary. He further said and added that no hindrances should be caused there.
The statements by the Vice President of India comes as a rebuttal to the claims made by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on the Centre deliberately turning off the microphones. The Congress leader in his talk held in London talked about his experience as a politician in India and claimed that the microphones in the house are functioning properly, however, the voice of the Opposition can’t be reached as the Centre doesn’t turn them on.
The row between the Vice President and Rahul Gandhi on the microphone issue continued for the second day. Dhankar also targeted Rahul Gandhi for portraying India’s image in a bad light on foreign soil.
Most recently many BJP leaders questioned Rahul Gandhi’s statement in London and dubbed it to be portraying the nation in a bad light. However, Congress leaders came out to defend Gandhi over his remarks about India’s democracy being in danger under the BJP rule.
Rahul Gandhi was on a 10-day visit to London where he delivered a lecture in the Cambridge university, as well as, spoke to the Indian Journalist Association, according to reports.
