Nadda vs Kharge In Rajya Sabha
On the ongoing debate over Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack, Leader of House JP Nadda accused LoP Kharge of “losing his mental balance” over the remarks made by him against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Nadda also demanded that Kharge’s remarks on PM Modi must be expunged from records, saying that the were made in a “flow of emotions.”
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the most popular leader in the world and not just the BJP takes pride in it, the entire nation does,” Nadda said, adding that Kharge has not taken care of the prime minister’s stature and made the remarks, which were objectionable.
Soon, Kharge as well as Opposition benches made strong objections to Nadda’s remarks and demanded an apology. Nadda soon got up to say that he has already withdrawn his words, and offered an apology.
Kharge also said that Nadda is one of the ministers in the NDA government whom he respected, but said it was a matter of shame that he made such remarks against him and demanded his apology.
“There are a few leaders in this House I have immense respect for. Nadda ji is one of them. Rajnath ji and he are ministers who speak without losing their balance. He is telling me today. This is a matter of shame. He should apologise, I am not going to leave this alone,” Kharge said.
“We respect the LoP. I have already taken back my words, but if they have hurt his (Kharge’s) feelings, I apologise for the same. However, Kharge did cross his limits and made certain remarks against the prime minister in passion and out of emotion, which need to be expunged,” Nadda said.
“He has long experience. The choice of words used during his speech did not reflect his stature. The kind of words used by him were below his stature. Therefore, I urge you to expunge those words,” Nadda urged the chair.
