Jaya Bachchan Draws Flak On Rajya Sabha Outburst; Internet Demands Her Suspension!
Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan lost her cool and made some poor choice of words in Rajya Sabha Monday after a personal remark by a member while she was participating in a discussion on the bill on narcotic drugs.
Upset over alleged 'personal' remarks made to target her, Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan lashed out at the ruling BJP in Rajya Sabha with a "curse" that it will face bad days.
During her verbal spat and outburst, she also told the chair that he should be fair and alleged that an attempt was being made to stifle the voice of opposition.

What led to Jaya Bachchan's emotional and aggressive outburst?

Participating in the debate on NDPS (Amendment) Bill, Bachchan chose to raise the issue of the 12 suspended opposition members and said Bhubaneswar Kalita, who was in the chair, used to protest in the Well of the House.
This evoked a sharp reaction from BJP members.

"I don't want to thank you because I don't know whether I should remember when you used to walk into the Well shouting...or today when you are sitting in the chair," she said when called to speak on the bill.
Objecting to her remarks, Rakesh Sinha (BJP) said she was casting aspersions on the chair.
Dismissing Sinha's objection, Bachchan continued her speech and lamented that when the country is facing several important issues, the House had allocated 3-4 hours for a debate on rectifying a "clerical error" in the Bill.
Amid the din, she alleged that personal remarks were made against her and sought protection from the chair.
"I expect you to take action on the comment he made on me and my career. You want to be fair. You are sitting on the chair, and you don't belong to any party, sir," she said.
"How can they make personal remarks in the House...Aap logon kay buraey din aayengay (Your bad days will come), I curse you," she said.
The remarks claimed by Bachchan as "personal" could not be heard in the noise.
When #JayaBachchan, who has kept silence on Sushant Singh's death and supports Bollywood drug addicts, and Aishwarya Rai are questioned by the ED, ??? ????? curses the BJP with bad days.

Leaders of the BJP and the SP have been attacking each other as the crucial elections in Uttar Pradesh are due early next year.
The SP has accused the Centre of targeting its leaders due to political vendetta, a charge denied by the BJP. Kalita repeatedly urged Bachchan to confine herself to the Bill being debated.
She responded by saying that efforts were being made to stifle the voice of opposition members. Kalita said that the chair would go through the records and remove unparliamentary remarks if any.

The chair, meanwhile, called the next member to speak on the Bill but soon after adjourned the House for 30 minutes because of the continuous din.

Heights of breaking the Parliamentary Decorum by speaking out of context and insulting and disrespecting other Parliamenterians!#Parliament #JayaBachchan pic.twitter.com/EfWdvpmXjU
Jaya Bachchan's remarks in Rajya Sabha yet again tell us why she does not belong to that place. She is as uncultured as the party she represents.

Why did #JayaBachchan have her shrill, ill-mannered, filmy meltdown in Parliament today?
¡ª Smita Barooah (@smitabarooah) December 20, 2021
What's her real issue? She wants the government to not investigate the #PanamaPaperLeak ?
#JayaBachchan when is she not angry, we saw her on a recent promo episode of KBC. Her very annoyed expression on the show with Shweta Nanda, Navyanaveli and Amitji is evident to say she has a problem. Needs treatment pic.twitter.com/ip78sfNWDX

Jaya Bachchan screaming ¡®I curse you in Parliament¡¯ is a disgraceful act by a Parliamentarian. She must learn to distinguish between the language she uses at home and in our Nation¡¯s Temple of Democracy.

Jaya Bachchan's outburst came on a day her daughter-in-law and actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan appeared before the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in a case linked to the 2016 'Panama Papers' global tax leaks case.
Her statement was recorded under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) provisions, official sources said.
