"Forced To Take Step": Opposition On No-Trust Move Against J Dhankhar
NDTV
Mr Kharge's comments came hours after the Congress-led opposition submitted a no-confidence motion against Mr Dhankhar, on grounds of partisan functioning of the House.
The opposition was forced to table the no-confidence motion against Rajya Sabha Chair Jagdeep Dhankhar because "his conduct has damaged the pride of the nation", Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said Wednesday afternoon. "His actions have hurt the dignity of India," Mr Kharge said, as he also stressed there is no "personal fight" against the Rajya Sabha Chairman.
"We have been compelled to take this step. We have already given a notice. The opposition is here to speak, standing together, on this sensitive issue. I am sad to say the Chairman left us with no option. For three years, he gave us neither time nor space to raise critical issues."
"We expect protection from the Chairperson... but he keeps gesturing to ruling party MPs to speak. Who will listen to the opposition when the Chair himself defends the government?"
