Referring to certain remarks made by Thakur in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday during the discussion on the Waqf bill, the Congress president said the remarks have damaged his reputation.

Thakur's remarks have been expunged from the records.

Several opposition parties also staged a walkout from the House on the issue.

Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar observed that constitutionally highly positioned persons have been subjected to insinuations with no remorse. He emphasized that parties have to take responsibility for how to rectify and save their reputations.
