Demanding an apology from the INDIA bloc over the mimicry incident of Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi on December 19 said that the opposition members tried to belittle the image of Vice President adding that they are against the tribal and farming communities of the nation. While expressing concerns in Rajya Sabha over the Jagdeep Dhankar Mimicry Incident, Pralhad Joshi said, "Leader of Congress, a former Congress President who could not manage his own party affairs was trying to encourage this unfortunate act. This incident has circulated on social media and people are condemning it." Pralhad Joshi further said that Congress also deliberately insulted President Droupadi Murmu earlier. "From the beginning, Congress has deliberately been insulting our President, who comes from the tribal community and from day one their party leader in other house have insulted her. This puts a question on their mental state," he said.
