Yes there was a dark chapter – Dhankhar
Without naming Gandhi, the Vice President said, ‘Some people allege that the mike is switched off in the Parliament of the world’s largest democracy. Nothing can be more untrue than this.

Yes there was a time, there was a dark chapter, it was the time of emergency.
The Vice President said, ‘I have seen during my two foreign visits that when I introduce myself, people look at me with respect, this is the strength of today’s India. Still some people are defaming India abroad. Our history is thousands of years old, we are a great nation, our people are great.
No one showed the posters – Dhankhar

He said, ‘Create an environment, the conduct in Parliament and Assemblies should be exemplary. There should not be any disturbance there.
