Kharge blasts V-P Dhankar over muzzling Opposition's freedom of expression in RS

NEW DELHI:

The Congress chief alleged the Rajya Sabha chairman has consistently suppressed the freedom of expression of Opposition members through "persistent heckling, unwarranted insistence on authentication, unfair remarks and the refusal to list issues of public importance for discussion".

His scathing criticism of the Vice-President comes a couple of days after Opposition INDIA bloc parties, spearheaded by the Congress, submitted a notice in the Rajya Sabha for moving a no-confidence motion against Dhankhar, accusing him of being "extremely partisan".
