Congress MP Rahul Gandhi was seen making a video of the performance, earning the ire of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leaders. Now add to that The Jat Association. The targeting of the vice president drew sharp reactions as the Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar himself termed the opposition actions as "shameful" and "insult" of his background as a farmer and "position as a Jat".

The Jat Association took to their official X handle and issued a warning to the opposition MPs, Congress leaders. "By Congress elements. Vice President of the country.

And the pride of Jat community. Jagdeep Dankhad sir has been ridiculed. The Jat community will definitely take account of this mockery in the coming Lok Sabha elections.

Thank you . Information issued in the interest of Jats." the Jat Association tweeted in Hindi "Imagine what must be going through my heart when your senior leader videographs a Member of Parliament mocking the institution of the chairman... Don't take on my background as a farmer," Jagdeep Dhankhar said in Rajya Sabha, addressing senior Congress leader P Chidambaram.

The institution of the chairman, he added, has been ravaged and that too by a political party that has ruled for so long. "A member of Parliament videographing another one, for what. I had suffered, I tell you, on Instagram, Mr Chidambaram (who was present in the House), your party put a video that was withdrawn later on that was shame to me.
