I have tolerated a lot you have the right to bring a motion but you are insulting the Constitution.”
In response, Rajya Sabha leader Mallikarjun Kharge replied, “You are encouraging the (BJP) members to speak against members of other parties. I am also the son of a farmer. I have faced more challenges than you. You are insulting our party leaders, you are insulting the Congress. We have not come here to listen to your praises, we have come here for discussion.”
