Watch: Stormy scenes in Rajya Sabha as Kharge, Nadda clash over police action against student protesters
NEW DELHI: The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday witnessed a sharp exchange between Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of the House J.P. Nadda over the police action against students during the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march, with the Congress alleging an assault on democracy and the BJP defending the crackdown as a routine law-and-order response.
Raising the issue in the House, Kharge said, "Democracy is not safe. People are not safe," and urged the government to take action against those who entered the protest site without authorisation. "Those who went there without authorization should be punished by the government," he said.
