Kolkata Airport makes history by welcoming first Giant Airbus Beluga XL
In response to the controversy surrounding Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee's mimicry of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has broken his silence, admitting to filming the incident.
"MPs were sitting there, I shot their video. My video is on my phone. Media is showing it...Nobody has said anything...150 (143) of our MPs have been thrown out (of the House) but there is no discussion on that in the media. There is no discussion on Adani, no discussion on Rafale, no discussion on unemployment. Our MPs are disheartened and sitting outside. But you are discussing that (mimicry)," he said.
Earlier on Tuesday, TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee was seen mocking Dhankhar at the Parliament's Makar Dwar. Rahul Gandhi recorded the MP on his mobile phone, a video of which went viral on social media adding to the ongoing controversy. Dhankhar later said the actions of the two MPs were an insult to the Chairman's post.
