Dhankhar stressed that deviation from rules is virtually sacrilege of this temple (of democracy) and that the Chair can be persuaded historically only by exhibiting the highest standard of conformance to the rules.

He was replying to Jairam Ramesh's query, how could the Chair be persuaded.

"There is a good question emanating from, I would say, my dear friend Jairam Ramesh. He says how do we persuade the chair. It's a good question. Therefore, I seek to answer it," he said acknowledging the wisdom behind the query before answering it.
