NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday wrote to Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar expressing shock that CPWD , CISF and Tata Projects personnel entered the chamber allotted to him in Parliament without his knowledge. He said this "intrusion" was "highly disrespectful and completely unacceptable" and a blatant violation of the rules and his privileges both as an MP and as leader of opposition.

Kharge said it was an "extraordinary development" and demanded to know under whose authority they entered his chamber without permission on Sept 28. Kharge said measures should be taken to ensure such incidents which undermine the dignity of the leader of the opposition do not happen in future. He said if at all such entry was required, his permission must be sought and must take place with somebody from his office present.
