Amidst controversy over a Trinamool MP mimicking Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar in Parliament, Rajya Sabha BJP and NDA members will stage a unique protest today by standing in solidarity with Dhankhar for an hour. A video of Kalyan Banerjee imitating Dhankhar's gestures sparked outrage from the Vice President who said he felt "deeply pained" over the personal attack, especially Congress leader Rahul Gandhi filming it. Dhankhar slammed Congress, saying its official handle posted then deleted the video insulting his farmer background and position as Rajya Sabha Chairman. The protests signal escalating tensions between the opposition and chairman Dhankhar over parliamentary conduct, after 141 MPs were suspended for the security breach protest.
