The ongoing logjam in the Upper House intensified after Dhankhar accused the Opposition of "insulting a farmer's son" in a possible reference to the notice submitted by INDIA bloc lawmakers to move a motion to remove the Rajya Sabha chairman. Kharge retorted and said that he was belittled for being "a Dalit and the son of a farm labourer".
Dhankhar's attempt to break the ice by inviting Kharge and the Leader of the House, JP Nadda, to his chamber for a discussion also did not fructify, as the LoP declined the invite and Nadda was scheduled to travel.
In a reinforcement of Opposition unity, leaders of the INDIA bloc put up a spirited defence of the Congress president when a heated exchange took place between Dhankhar and Kharge, both accusing the other of belittling each other and the caste they belong to.
