Jaya Bachchan, Samajwadi Party MP lost her calmness in Rajya Sabha. She lost her cool after a personal comment made by a member, when she was taking part in a discussion on narcotic drugs bill.
“We want justice. We don’t expect justice from there (treasury benches) but can we expect it from you? How are you protecting the members of this house or the 12 members sitting outside? How are you protecting them?” Ms Bachchan said, addressing the Chair, presided over by Bhuwaneswar Kalitha.
When the chairman alleged that she was not speaking on the narcotic bill and it looked like “you are not interested in the bill”, Ms Bachchan said, “It is my turn to speak. We have given three to four hours to discuss a clerical error”.
When members loudly opposed her, then actor-turned politician exploded. “What is going on? This is terrible… Aap logon ke bure din aayenge, (Your bad days will come)”.
A verbal spat started, when BJP MP Rakesh Sinha raised the point of order, accusing her of targeting the Chair.
Jaya Bachchan the demanded that the Chair take action against the member, accusing them of making “personal remarks” against her.
So the Chair finally announces that the remarks which were not suitable would be expunged from the record.

“If you have the intention to fight, this is not the house. I’m very sorry. I’m calling the next speaker,” Mr Kalitha said.
“How can they make personal remarks in the house? This is so sad that you people don’t have enough sense or honour for the colleagues sitting outside? “Aap logon ke bure din bohot jald aayenge, I curse you.
Ms Bachchan later said, “I don’t want to make any personal comment on anyone. What happened was very unfortunate and they should not have spoken the way they did”.
One of the treasury bench MP,
Jugal Lokhandwala who apparently made the “personal remark”that exploded Jaya Bachchan, told media that he had meant the whole opposition when he said “you will not do drama”.
“Later, I was told that Jaya Bachchan is angry in the House. I didn’t make personal remarks against anyone… I said this looking at the whole opposition… the opposition is furious,” he added.
