On behalf of the entire opposition, I wish him a healthy life.”

JP Nadda said – go to the doctor

Leader of the House JP Nadda did not like his statement and called it off topic. He said, ‘We should maintain the dignity of the welcome ceremony. If this happens, then there will be discussion from our side also that no-confidence motion should be brought against him (Dhankhar) twice. I think our opposition leaders are very respectable. You have suffered a lot due to defeat in Bihar, Haryana and Maharashtra. The problem should be discussed with the doctor. When the time comes, express your problems to the doctor.
