The chairman laughed and said that I am a married man for more than 45 years. I never get angry. As soon as he said this, the house started laughing. After this he mentioned Congress leader P. Chidambaram and said that Chidambaram is an eminent senior lawyer. He knows that as a senior advocate, we have no right to get angry, at least before authority and you (Leader of Opposition Kharge) are an authority. I never get angry. The Chairman asked Kharge to rectify his statement. On this Kharge said that you do not show it, but you are angry from inside. Not only all the members but also the chairman Dhankhar started laughing on this talk of Kharge.
