New Delhi, Dec 16: In a major dramatic-face off, Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar warned Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha for protesting and making a hand gesture while raising a point of order amid the chaos over the opposition’s demand to discuss the Wednesday's Parliament security breach.

The opposition MPs have demanded the suspension of the scheduled business of the day to discuss the "serious situation arising out of breach of security" in Parliament on December 13. But Dhankhar did not approve the notices and proceeded with the Zero Hour.

The chairman objected to the gesture, and said, "You don't have to do like this (hand gesture) to raise a point of order...use your tongue...don't do it. ... you were convicted, you were sentenced by this House."

Reprimanding the AAP MP, Dhankhar further said, "If you want to say something, use your mouth. Do not gesture with your hands. Now is the time for you to learn many things. It seems you will also start dancing soon." He also urged the AAP lawmaker to “sit quietly" and told him that it was time to “learn many things".


Two people had jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber on Wednesday before opening yellow smoke canisters. They also carried ‘missing’ posters lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chanted slogans during their shocking interruption of the Zero Hour. The Opposition has raised strong objection to the matter and repeatedly called for the House to suspend scheduled business to discuss the breach.

Members of the INDIA bloc have also lashed out at Home Minister Amit Shah for making a statement at a media conclave and not coming to Parliament to give a statement on "such an important issue".

The Congress on Thursday described the suspension of opposition MPs as a "murder of democracy" and accused the BJP government of reducing Parliament to a "rubber stamp".
