Every day a black chapter of Parliament and democracy is being written by the BJP in the House. The conduct of the Chairman of the House and the connivance of the BJP, the exercise to save Adani has in a way crushed democracy under the bulldozer. The way the Chairman and the BJP are conspiring to make a humiliating attack on a farmer, a Dalit's son, the Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge, we strongly condemn it on behalf of all the parties.

We have only one demand, the entire opposition has put forward a proposal, it should be discussed, there should be a discussion on Adani, Sambhal, and the condition of farmers.," he said.

He stated that the ruling party's behaviour is wrong and that people are angry with their actions. "You are seeing how they (BJP) are creating a ruckus in the House, raising slogans. Does the ruling party ever do this? The kind of allegations being made against Kharge ji, the way BJP members are speaking this attack on him is very wrong, people are very angry with this. They are insulting Kharge ji..," he said.
