Addressing an event on Wednesday, Nadda said, “…You send leaders to discuss and debate in Parliament. But yesterday some people took up the job of a joker and imitated instead of debating in Parliament.”

Referring to TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, Nadda said that an MP was imitating the Vice President in Parliament and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was making a video of it.

“Congress, about which it is said that its history is more than 100 years old. The leader of that Congress is insulting the farmer’s son, Jat’s son and OBC representative and the person holding the constitutional post of Vice President…,” said Nadda.

TMC MP Banerjee, while protesting with other suspended MPs at Parliament’s Makar Dwar, was seen imitating the Vice President, while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi filmed the Trinamool MP using his phone.

Other leaders too we seen having a good laugh as Banerjee imitated Dhankar.
