On Wednesday, the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of India’s Parliament) had to stop working for the day without getting anything done because of a loud argument between ruling party and opposition members. The conflict arose over a notice of no-confidence against the Vice President and Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, Jagdeep Dhankhar, and a discussion about billionaire George Soros.
When the Rajya Sabha met at noon, J P Nadda, the Leader of the House, criticized the Congress party for supposedly siding with George Soros, claiming that they were trying to make India unstable. He called for a discussion to explain what the Congress party’s leaders have to do with Soros and how that affects India’s safety and sovereignty.
Nadda argued that the Congress party was trying to distract everyone from the real issues by targeting the Chairman. He accused them of being a part of a foreign influence that threatens India’s integrity. He said that the way Congress criticized the Chairman was disrespectful and should be condemned by everyone.
Despite Nadda’s statements, the uproar from the opposition continued, and the Rajya Sabha has faced multiple interruptions over the last three days because of the George Soros issue.
