Congress President Mallikrajun Kharge lost his cool during a speech in the Rajya Sabha and interrupted him on Neeraj Shekhar, son of BJP MP and former Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar.
Shekhar tried to disrupt Kharge during his speech, reminding him that he was a contemporary of his father and saw him as a child. While hitting Neeraj Shekhar for his behavior, Kharge then asked him to sit.
“Your father’s main was also like this. What do you do? Turned with you. Speaking in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, Churge said, “I was your father’s companion. What are you talking about?”

Following Kharge’s comment, there was an uproar with the treasury benches in the Rajya Sabha, in which Chandra Jagdeep Dhankhar called Chandra Shekhar one of the highest leaders in the country. In an attempt to calm the situation in the House, Dhikar urged Kharge to withdraw his comment.
For this, Kharge replied and said that he had worked with Chandra Shekhar, and called him a comrade. “I don’t insult anyone, I have worked with Chandra Shekhar ji …” said the Congress leader.
Originally a Congress leader, Chandra Shekhar became the Prime Minister of the country with the support of Congress from Janata Party in November 1990. However, his government soon fell.
