    Sonia Gandhi Leads Walkout After Jaya Bachchan Vs Rajya Sabha Chairman

    Opposition parties – led by Congress stalwart Sonia Gandhi – walked out of the Rajya Sabha on Friday afternoon in a significant show support for Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan, as she protested a recurrence of the ‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’ row in the Upper House.

    Twice in this Parliamentary session Ms Bachchan, a noted actor married to fellow cinematic star Amitabh Bachchan, has been introduced in Parliament as ‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan‘.

    Ms Bachchan has expressed her strong disapproval of this practice. Speaking to reporters after the walk-out, she said, “It was a very humiliating experience…” and criticised the treatment of opposition MPs, contrasting it with the latitude given to those from the ruling BJP or its allies.

    This afternoon, faced with a repeat of the ‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’ call-out, Ms Bachchan did so again. However, Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar responded “Don’t school me.”

    Ms Bachchan, though, stood firm and demanded an apology. “I need an apology from the Chair,” she said as protests mounted against Mr Dhankhar and the opposition MPs walked out.

    Opposition MPs – led by Sonia Gandhi and the Trinamool Congress’ Derek O’Brien – gathered outside Parliament, flanking Ms Bachchan in a powerful statement, and several later spoke on her behalf.

    Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Priyanka Chaturvedi pointed out Ms Bachchan has “vast parliamentary experience… more than the Vice President”, while her Trinamool Congress colleague, Dola Sen, said Ms Bachchan is a four-time MP and deserves respect.

    Opposition MPs’ walk-out triggered a furious reaction from BJP chief and Rajya Sabha MP JP Nadda, who called the protest “indecent and irresponsible” behaviour. “The opposition wants to weaken the country (and should) apologise,” he declared in the (by now largely empty) House.

    “It is clear that their standards have fallen in politics… from opposing a party and individual, now they are opposing the country. They want to divide the country,” he claimed.

    Mr Nadda wasn’t the only BJP leader to hit out at the opposition. Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan declared “I have never seen such unruly, indecent behavior of the opposition”.

    “Today the mind is distressed…filled with pain. This is not only an insult to the Chair, it is an insult to the democratic values ​​of the country. It is an insult to democracy… it is an insult to the Constitution.”

    “Today it has been proved that the irresponsible opposition is trying to push the country into anarchy. The opposition should apologise.. has shamed the House and country,” he claimed.

    Mr Dhankhar later adjourned proceedings till 2 pm.

    On Monday too Ms Bachchan had objected to Mr Dhankhar, saying, “Sir, only Jaya Bachchan would have sufficed”, and stressing her unease about women being identified only by their husband’s names as if “they don’t have their own identity”.

    Ms Bachchan had then criticised the “new drama started by you all (referring to her political rivals, the Bharatiya Janata Party)”. “This did not happen before,” she said.

    “Shrimati Jaya Amitabh Bachchanji, please,” he had said, inviting her to speak. “Sir, sirf Jaya Bachchan bolte to kaafi hojata (It would’ve been enough to call me Jaya Bachchan),” she said, adding,”… women will be recognised by the names of their husbands. They have no existence or achievements of their own” when told that was the name registered in Parliament records.
