Leader of Opposition (LoP) Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday expressed his disappointment to Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar for being unable to raise the Manipur issue in the upper house.

“I was not being given a chance to speak on Rule 267. Tomorrow you (VP) will say that you did not give notice on time. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to raise this (rule 267) when Manipur is burning and the women are raped and paraded while naked and PM is keeping quiet,” LoP Kharge said.

Soon after Rajya Sabha chairman Dhankhar told the house that discussion on Manipur will only be taken up after consultation from the leader of the house, there was a massive uproar from the opposition parties.

Leader of the House Piyush Goyal said the government has no objections and was ready for a discussion.
