Kharge's 'tera baap...' jibe at ex-PM's son stokes uproar
The New Indian Express Hubballi
|February 06, 2025
THE Rajya Sabha on Tuesday witnessed an unusual exchange when Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge lashed out at BJP MP Neeraj Shekhar - the son of former prime minister Chandra Shekhar - for interrupting his speech.
The incident took place in the Upper House during the debate on the motion of thanks to the President's address in which Kharge was criticising the government over the fall of the rupee against the US dollar when Shekhar abruptly interrupted.
"Tera baap ka bhi main aisa sathi tha. Tu kya baat karta hai? Tujhko lekar ghuma. Chup, chup, chup baith (I was your father's companion. What are you talking about? I took you around. Shut up and sit)," Kharge was heard furiously telling Shekhar in the House.
Kharge's remark led to a commotion in the House, prompting Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar to intervene.
