Don't Wish To Live For Long...:' Says Emotional Kharge Over 'Parivarvaad' Allegations | VIDEO

New Delhi: An emotional Mallikarjun Kharge - Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha - on Wednesday said he didn't wish to live for long 'in such an environment.'

The Congress Chief got emotional after certain remarks were made by BJP MP Ghanshyam Tiwari in the House regarding his political journey, following which Kharge urged the Chair to expunge Tiwari's remarks.

Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said he would look into the remarks made by Tiwari on Tuesday in the House and assured that any word that has hurt the Congress leader would not remain in the record.

Soon after laying the listed paper in the House, the Congress leader pointed out that Tiwari referred to his political journey and said "his (Kharge's) entire family" was in politics.

"He commented on 'parivarvaad'. I request that this be expunged (from the records)," Kharge said.

The Leader of the Opposition further said he was a first-generation politician and gave details of his political journey, which started after joining the Congress party.

At one point he said his father died at the age of 85. To this, Chairman Dhankhar wished him an even longer life than his father.

Kharge quipped, "I don't wish to live for long in this environment".

Stating that he was in the Chair when Tiwari made the remarks, Dhankar said he does not think that the BJP leader meant anything wrong for Kharge.

The Chairman assured the Congress leader he would minutely examine the records.
