NEW DELHI: Prime minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called up Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar to express pain at the suspended TMC member mimicking the latter and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi filming the act.
Dhankhar shared the update on his social media handle X.
“Received a telephone call from the Prime Minister, Shri @narendramodi Ji. He expressed great pain over the abject theatrics of some Honourable MPs and that too in the sacred Parliament complex yesterday. He told me that he has been at the receiving end of such insults for twenty years and counting but the fact that it could happen to a Constitutional office like the Vice President of India and that too in the Parliament was unfortunate,” said Dhankhar.
The VP said he told the PM that the antics of a few would not prevent him from performing his duty and upholding the principles enshrined in the Constitution.
“I am committed to those values from the bottom of my heart. None of the insults will make me change my path,” the VP said.
The Union ministers have widely condemned the TMC member and Gandhi’s actions. The Jat Association on Tuesday in a statement said it would avenge the insult heaped on Dhankhar, who had done the community proud.
