Leader of the House JP Nadda intervened and said the expression used by the Leader of Opposition is condemnable.”The language used by the Leader of Opposition, the aspersions on the chair, is condemnable…This is to be condemned by one and all. The words and language used for the Chair is unpardonable, still he should apologise and the word should be expunged,” he said.Kharge immediately apologised for using the expression, and also clarified that it was not meant for the chair but for government policies. “I am sorry, I was not speaking about you, it was about government policies. I am sorry if you were hurt by my remarks, I apologise to you,” he said.”You are hurting the self-respect of a part of this country and people, and calling them uncultured and uncivilised… The minister should be asked to resign. They are talking about dividing and breaking the country,” the Congress President added.Nadda said it is good that Kharge apologised to the Chair, and appreciated his gesture, adding the remarks are still condemnable if they were meant for the government.The Chair then called Digvijay Singh to speak who initiated the debate on the working of the Education Ministry.During his reply in Lok Sabha on the Central funds for the PM Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) scheme on Monday, Pradhan had called the MK Stalin government of Tamil Nadu “dishonest” and “uncivilised”, evoking protests from the DMK MPs.
