Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has expressed concerns over the "inappropriate conduct" of public representatives inside Parliament and state Assemblies, stating that they have become a "laughing stock" before the public.

The Vice President also called for a "widespread contemplation" over the issue at all levels, adding that there must be an end to it for the good of the country and society.

The vice-president was speaking at a felicitation ceremony in the Rajasthan Assembly.

"The conduct of our public representatives in the world's largest democracy should be exemplary. The founding fathers of the Constitution had expected this. Today's situation is very serious and worrisome," the Vice President said.

"The reason for the worry is that the undignified conduct has crossed all limits. Fail to know how can the public representatives have such conduct while putting forth their points in the Parliament or in the Assembly. They have become a laughing stock before the public," Dhankhar added.
