Prof K Nageshwar's video: When Venkaiah Naidu broke down

వెంకయ్య నాయుడు ఆనాడే కన్నీళ్ళు పెట్టివుంటే, ఇప్పటికైనా...|| When Venkaiah Naidu broke down || Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu broke down today in the house while reading out a statement condemning what he called "sacrilege" and violation of the "temple of democracy" by the opposition. Opposition MPs on Tuesday climbed the officials' table at the centre of the Rajya Sabha, waved black cloths and threw files during a discussion on the farmer protests over three central laws. Members sat on tables and many stood on them, shouting slogans. Sources say the government wants strict action against the MPs and may report the incident to the parliamentary Ethics Committee. Describing parliament as a temple of democracy and the centre of the house as the "holy sanctum sanctorum", Mr Naidu said: "I am distressed by the way the way the sacredness was destroyed yesterday. When some members sat on the table, some members climbed on the table of the house, perhaps to be more visible with such acts of sacrilege." The Vice President continued: "I have no words to convey my anguish and to condemn such acts as I spent a sleepless night...last night" He broke off, choking up. After a long pause, he resumed: "I struggle to find out the reason or provocation for forcing this august house to hit such a low yesterday." Mr Naidu said the opposition could have discussed their objections to the farm laws in the house, protested or voted against it. "But it is for the government to act. You cannot force the government to do this or not to do this... Yesterday was a golden opportunity for the concerned members to have gone on record...but it seems their sole intention was to not allow the house to function." Opposition MPs piped up then, alleging that the Chair was speaking for the government instead of staying neutral. Though the visuals of the opposition protests were not shown yesterday, MPs shared them on Twitter. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/monsoon-session-of-parliament-rajya-sabha-chairman-m-venkaiah-naidu-breaks-down-slams-parliament-protests-says-spent-sleepless-night-2507758
