Today (Aug 9th, Friday), a significant uproar unfolded in the Rajya Sabha when Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar addressed Actor MP Jaya Bachchan. During the session, Jagdeep Dhankhar pronounced Bachchan's name as "Jaya Amitabh Bachchan," which visibly irked the MP from Uttar Pradesh. Jaya Bachchan expressed her displeasure, stating that she could easily discern the tone and body language of a person, and felt that the Chairman's manner was unjustified. In response, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar asserted that decorum must be maintained in Parliament and remarked, "If you are an actor, then you are subject to the director." He emphasized that he did not need any schooling from others and ultimately decided not to allow Bachchan to pose her question. Watch the full video to see how this dramatic exchange unfolded
