Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday said he was “astonished and shocked” over the presence of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel in the well of Rajya Sabha, as he alleged that opposition lawmakers were being prevented from raising issues. In a letter to the Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh, the veteran Congress leader called the incident “most objectionable”, condemning it “unequivocally”.
