Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman By Jagdeep Dhankar(Jagdeep Dhankhar) Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge responded to the letter. The Speaker is the watchman of the House. Along with preserving the dignity of the House and protecting the parliamentary privileges, it should be at the forefront of holding the government to account through debate and discussion in the Parliament. In the letter, Kharge informed that he was out of Delhi now and hence could not meet him. During the tumultuous winter session of Parliament, 146 opposition MPs from both houses were suspended.

At the same time, the political dispute is continuing over the Mimicry row of the Trinamool MP (TMC MP) imitating Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar. Kalyan Banerjee imitated Dhankar, who is also Rajya Sabha Chairman, during the opposition MPs’ protest. Meanwhile, the Speaker sent a letter to Kharge. Kharge said in the letter that it is sad when history judges presiding officers harshly for passing bills without discussion and not demanding accountability from the government.
A few days ago, Mallikarjun Kharge had written a letter to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and expressed his displeasure. Kharge had sent the letter stating that he was sad, worried and disappointed that the MPs had been suspended. In response, Dhankhar wrote a letter and invited Kharge to meet him at his residence. During the entire session he was writing letters requesting and inviting discussions within the House. “But all my efforts to communicate with you have failed,” the Vice President said in his reply.
The opposition protested in both the Houses demanding that Union Home Minister Amit Shah make an official statement on the December 13 Parliament security breach. So far 146 MPs have been suspended following the protests. A majority of them were also instructed not to attend the church for the remaining days of the winter session. After this, the Mimicry controversy heated up. Jairam Ramesh alleged that this was an absolutely pathetic attempt to divert attention from the undemocratic suspension of opposition MPs from Parliament and the December 13 Parliament security breach. But Jagdeep Dhankar himself came out against the imitation. Dhankhar responded that it was shameful, ridiculous and unacceptable for one MP to taunt and a second MP to videotape the incident. Later, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Draupadi Murmu expressed their displeasure. Meanwhile, it is also noteworthy that a complaint was filed against the Trinamool MP at the police station in Delhi.
