Rahul Gandhi Criticises Lack Of Consensus On Dy Speaker Post, Accuses BJP Of Insulting Opposition

Earlier, Rahul Gandhi stated that the Opposition would extend support to the Speaker if the Opposition were given the Deputy Speaker post. However, it seems there is no consensus between the BJP and the Opposition. Today, Rahul Gandhi said, "It is written in the newspaper that PM Modi has said the Opposition should cooperate with the government constructively. Rajnath Singh called Mallikarjun Kharge and asked him to extend support to the Speaker. The entire Opposition agreed to support the Speaker, but the convention is that the Deputy Speaker post should be given to the Opposition. Rajnath Singh said he would call back Mallikarjun Kharge, but he has not done that yet. PM Modi is asking for cooperation from the Opposition, but our leader is being insulted."
