New Delhi: Amidst the uproar on NEP the Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till Monday and will meet again at 11:00 AM on March 17 after the break for Holi.

Earlier on Tuesday, there had been a massive uproar in the upper house of the Parliament over LoP (Rajya Sabha) and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s ‘thokenge’ remark.

Kharge’s statement came while he was speaking about Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan after his remark against the Tamil Nadu government about the issue of the three-language policy. “…I request you (Deputy Chairman) with folded hands to allow me (to speak)…’aapko kya kya thokna hai thik se thokenge, sarkar ko bhi thokenge’….”, he said in the Upper House of the Parliament on Tuesday.

BJP strongly opposed Kharge’s statement and stated that it was disrespectful to the chair. Union Health Minister JP Nadda said that the Congress president should apologise for his statement, and his words should be expunged from the footage of the Parliament proceedings.

“The language used by him and the attack on the Chair is condemnable. He should condemn it and apologize for using this language for the Chair. He should take back his words or it should be expunged,” Nadda said.
