The Rajya Sabha witnessed a mix of humor and tension during today's session as the Manipur issue sparked heated exchanges between the ruling party and the opposition. Amidst the seriousness of the discussions, a light-hearted banter over the position of the heart took place between Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, bringing laughter to the house. During the debate on the Manipur issue, as both sides engaged in a spirited argument, Chairman Dhankhar playfully addressed Kharge, stating, "You are number 1 in my heart, sir." In response, Kharge humorously remarked that he knows Dhankhar's heart is big, but it leans towards the ruling party and not the opposition. Dhankhar then humorously pointed out that the heart is on the left side, prompting laughter in the house. The brief moment of camaraderie between Dhankhar and Kharge eased the tense atmosphere temporarily. However, despite the lighthearted exchange, the opposition remained steadfast in their demand for a debate under Rule 267.
