August 9, 2024: Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan on Friday demanded an apology from Vice President and Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankar after a heated exchange of words over BJP MP Ghanshyam Tiwai’s remarks against leader of the opposition Mallikarjun Kharge.

She said, “I objected to the tone used by the Chair. We are not school children. Some of us are senior citizens. I was upset with the tone and especially when the Leader of Opposition stood up to speak, he switched off the mike.”

SP MP Jaya Bachchan was flanked by several other women MPs including Sonia Gandhi. The Women Mps back her claims against the RS chairman.
