Ms Gandhi's remarks came after the turbulent relations between Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and INDIA bloc parties came to a head on Friday.
What is happening in Parliament now has never happened in the history of independent India, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Friday, pointing out how Ram Manohar Lohia's sharp remarks and Jawaharlal Nehru's patience in listening to them are still cited as examples.
Ms Gandhi's remarks came after the turbulent relations between Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and INDIA bloc parties came to a head on Friday, with the Congress accusing the chair of acting in a "partisan" manner against the entire opposition.
"Congress president and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge ji is a strong voice of democracy. He has 50 years of experience in parliamentary politics. Insulting him inside Parliament, not allowing him to speak, switching off microphones and insulting senior women members by those in power are completely unacceptable," Priyanka Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.
