The recent disqualification of wrestler Vinesh Phogat has sparked intense debate in India's political circles. The issue took a dramatic turn when Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar confronted TMC MP Derek O'Brien over his conduct during a House proceeding.

Dhankar was seen leaving his chair for a brief period before addressing O'Brien directly. He reportedly said, "How dare you shout at the chair? Your conduct is the ugliest in the House. Next time I will show you the door."

The Vice President also took a swipe at those who were politicizing Phogat's disqualification, stating that it was a great disrespect to the athlete.

TMC MP Derek O'Brien had initially stood up to raise concerns over the disqualification and asked "who is behind" the decision. However, Dhankar's sharp rebuke brought the proceedings to a temporary halt.
