M Kharge Protests Move To Expunge Rajya Sabha Remarks, Chairman Responds

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said two pages from his February 2 speech in Rajya Sabha were removed.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday refused to restore the expunged parts of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's speech in the House on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address.

During the Zero Hour, Mr Kharge, the leader of the opposition (LoP) in the Upper House of Parliament, said two pages from his February 2 speech were removed, leading to distortion of intent.

"I register my strong objection...I would like to request you to restore the expunged part in the House proceedings," Mr Kharge said. He also gave a written note to the chairman on the matter.
