You have to allow the Leader of Opposition to speak.”

She added, “I mean using unparliamentary words every time which I do not want to say in front of you all. You are a nuisance, ‘Buddhiheen’. He said you may be a celebrity, I do not care. I am not asking him to care. I am saying I am a member of Parliament. This is my fifth term. I know what I am saying. The way things are being spoken in Parliament these days, nobody has ever spoken before. I want an apology.”

To which Jagdeep responded and asked her to calm down and stated, “I can deal with this. Jaya ji, you’ve earned a great reputation. But you know, an actor is subject to the director. You have not seen what I see from here. “Every day, I don’t want to repeat. I don’t want schooling. I am a person who has gone out of the way and you say, my tone? Enough of it!
