Samajwadi Party MP and veteran actor Jaya Bachchan is known for losing her cool in Rajya Sabha over various issues. Recently, she led an attack at the treasury benches and accused the chair of not listening to the opposition or protecting the members of the opposition.

While speaking for the 12 members who are protesting outside the Parliament, she got agitated and cursed the bench. She said that what is going on. This is terrible. She further said that aap logo ke bure din aayenge (soon, your bad days will come.)

She also said that the members want justice, and they don’t expect justice from the treasury benches but they can expect this from the chair?

Jaya Bachchan further asked that how is the bench protecting members of this house or the 12 members sitting outside?

This is not the first time when she got agitated in Rajya Sabha. Earlier, Jaya Bachchan demanded strict action against Congress’ KR Ramesh Kumar for making the remark on rape.

The veteran actor was quoted saying to news agency that this is shameful behaviour and is a shameful action by a minister. The party must deal with them and take very strict action so that it is an example for others not to even think of such things, forget talking about it in the House.

Meanwhile, she once got furious in Rajya Sabha while defending Bollywood. Jaya Bachchan said that just because of few people, one cannot tarnish the whole industry. At that time, she led an attack on BJP MP and Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishan, and said that jis thaali mein khaate hain usi mein chhed karte hain (they are biting the same hand that feeds them.)

The former Deputy Chief Minister further claimed that a large number of applications have been made to delete voters’ names from the electoral rolls, including those of people who have been living in the same area for years.

The AAP,  which is aiming for a third consecutive term, has accused the BJP of attempting to manipulate the voter rolls to influence the elections.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday launched a scathing attack at Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, calling him the biggest government spokesperson. The Congress President said that the biggest reason for disruptions in the Rajya Sabha is the Chairman itself.

Speaking about the opposition parties’ motion, Mallikarjun Kharge pointed out that no resolution had been brought to remove the Vice President since 1952 as the person occupying the post were unbiased and beyond politics and always ran the House as per the rules. However, today, there is more politics than rules in the House, he continued.

He further claimed that the Rajya Sabha Chairman does schooling like a headmaster.  He maintained that from the opposition side, whenever important issues are raised, as per rules the Chairman does not allow the House to have the discussion in a planned way. He mentioned that time and again opposition leaders are stopped from speaking.

Rahul Gandhi meets Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla amid Parliament standoff, asks to expunge derogatory remark against him

Amid Parliament Standoff, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi met Speaker Om Birla and urged him to expunge derogatory remarks made in the House against his family and the Congress. 

After the meeting, Rahul Gandhi told the reporters that the speaker said that he would look into the matter regarding derogatory comments. He added that the Opposition’s aim is that the House must run and discussion should happen in the House. The Congress leader remarked that no matter what the BJP says about him, they want to have a debate on December 13. He continued that the BJP will keep levelling allegations on them but the House must function.

BJP Lok Sabha MPs Nishikant Dubey and Sambit Patra on December 5 had riled up the Opposition Congress by alleging links between Rahul Gandhi and Hungarian.

A day after, while speaking in the House, Nishikant Dubey brought up Soros and the global investigative news network OCCRP (Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project).

The BJP leader remarked that the Congress has relations with OCCRP, which gets all its funds from the US government and George Soros. He further questioned if Rahul Gandhi took money from George Soros for the Bharat Jodo Yatra?”

The BJP MP’s statement had caused a high-voltage drama as Congress MPs stormed the Well of the House in protest. Later, the House was adjourned. Following, the Congress members demanded to know the status of their notices regarding breach of privileges against Dubey and Patra.

While responding to queries about BJP’s Patra calling Rahul Gandhi a traitor, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that those who can call Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi traitors, have no qualms about calling Rahul Gandhi one. 

Notably, the Winter Session of Parliament has been a washout so far after repeated disruptions on multiple issues. When the session commenced, Congress MPs demanded a discussion on the US Department of Justice indictment against the directors of Adani Green, which led to differences within the Opposition ranks because Congress allies like Trinamool Congress wanted the House to function and discuss issues such as price rise, Manipur unrest and unemployment.
