Subsequently, Derek O\u2019Brien attempted to make his point but was drowned out by the commotion in the House. Dhankhar reprimanded the TMC member, stating, \u201cYou are shouting at the Chair. Your conduct is the ugliest in the House. I condemn your actions. Next time I will show you the door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the uproar persisted, the Opposition parties staged a walkout. Dhankhar criticized the Opposition, saying, \u201cThey believe they are the only ones whose hearts are bleeding. The entire nation is grieving for our girl. From the President to the Prime Minister to myself and many others, we all share this pain. However, politicizing the matter is a grave disservice to her. She has a promising future ahead,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>J P Nadda, the Leader of the House and BJP president, also denounced the Opposition members\u2019 behaviour towards the Chair and accused the Congress party of politicizing the issue of Phogat\u2019s disqualification. \u201cThe Opposition lacks a substantial issue for discussion,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n<p>Following Nadda\u2019s remarks, Dhankhar voiced his distress over the Opposition members\u2019 conduct and exited the chamber, stating his inability to remain present at that moment. Before his departure from the Rajya Sabha, Dhankhar criticized the Opposition members for exceeding all bounds of decorum by instigating chaos in the chamber and undermining the Chair\u2019s dignity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are not merely contesting me but the authority of the Chairman\u2019s position. They question the Chair, implying the incumbent is unfit,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Dhankhar lamented the lack of expected support from the chamber despite his exhaustive efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not evading my responsibilities. However, given today\u2019s events, the behaviour of a member, and the Opposition bench\u2019s conduct, I find myself unable to preside over the session,\u201d Dhankhar remarked, noting his departure was with a \u201cheavy heart\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent to Dhankhar\u2019s exit, Deputy Chairman Harivansh took over the Zero Hour proceedings.
