He further stated that, “He (RS chairman) does schooling like a headmaster… From the opposition side, whenever important issues are raised as per rules – the chairman doesn’t allow to have a discussion in a planned manner. Time and again opposition leaders are stopped from speaking. His (RS Chairman) fidelity is towards the ruling party instead of the Constitution and constitutional tradition. He is working as a spokesperson of the government for his next promotion, it is visible to us. I have no hesitation in saying that the biggest disruptor in Rajya Sabha is the Chairman himself.”

He said it is the first time in the history of Rajya Sabha that a no-confidence motion has been brought against the Chairman, who is also the country’s Vice President. “Vice president is the second biggest constitutional post in India… Since 1952 – there has been no resolution brought to remove the Vice President as they have always been unbiased and beyond politics. They always ran the House as per the rules. But, today, there is more politics than rules in the House,” he said.

Congress National President Kharge stated that the Rajya Sabha Chairman’s behavior in the House has damaged “the dignity of the country”.

Kharge mentioned that, “He has brought such a situation in the history of parliamentary democracy that we had to bring this notice for the resolution (of no confidence). We have no personal enmity or political fight with him. We want to tell the countrymen that we have taken this step to safeguard the democracy, and constitution, and after giving a lot of thought to it.”

During that press conference, they mentioned that they were forced to resort to safe guard democracy.
