WATCH | Jagdeep Dhankhar takes a dig at Rahul Gandhi over "hawa nikal gayi" remarks

It seems like Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar leaves no stone unturn to make the Parliament entertained amid the ruckus unleashed by the Opposition. This came as he took a sly dig over Rahul Gandhi's "hawa nikal gayi" remarks congratulated Nikhat Zareen, Lovlina Borgohain, Nitu Ghanghas and Saweety Boora for winning the gold medals at the Women’s World Boxing Championships.

  

 

“This is a proud moment for all of us. Our women boxers have created history in the Women’s World Boxing Championship held in New Delhi by winning 4 gold medals,” Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said Rajya Sabha. "Our congratulations to Nikhat Zareen, Lovlina Borgohain, Nitu Ghanghas and Saweety Boora. Their outstanding accomplishments will steer India’s future to great heights, inspiring and motivating young aspiring athletes,” he added.

 

While congratulating them, he also said golden fist, the Indian boxers have burst the bubbles of the Opposition.

 

 

Further, when the opposition members of the Rajya Sabha continued raising slogans demanding a joint parliamentary committee probe into the alleged Adani scam, chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, pacifying the members, said, "Kuch bhi mumkin ho sakta hai, kuch bhi hawa nikal sakti hai. Aap apni kursi par baithiye aur mere nirnaye ka intezar kijiye (Anything is possible... any bubble can be burst..please take your seat and wait for my decision)," Dhankhar said.

 

 

Dhankhar's 'hawa nikal sakti hai' comes in the backdrop from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's last press conference when he got furious with a question from a journalist who asked him on BJP's allegation that the BJP has been accusing him of being anti-OBC because of his 2019 remark for which he has been convicted by a Surat court and suspended from the Lok Sabha.

 

"Why are you so directly working for the BJP? You could exercise some discretion. You can beat around the bush a bit. See, now you are smiling....please if you want to work for the BJP, then put a BJP's symbol on your chest. Then I will answer you the same way I answer them. Don't pretend to be a pressman...hawa nikal gayi (the bubble is burst," Rahul Gandhi said.

 

Rahul Gandhi's reply to the journalist drew flak and the Mumbai Press Club asked the Congress leader to say sorry for the "public humiliation". "The job of a journalist is to ask questions and it is the duty of political leaders who call press conferences and engage with journalists to answer these questions with dignity and decorum. It is unfortunate that as the leader of one of the oldest political parties of the country, Mr Gandhi failed to respect the dignity of the Fourth Estate,” the Mumbai Press Club said in a statement.
