Despite repeated warnings, he hasn't improved: Joshi
Joshi accused Chowdhury of causing incessant disruptions and even degrading the country and its reputation during the proceedings.
"It has become habitual. Despite getting repeated warnings, he hasn't improved himself. He always makes baseless charges in his debates. He demeans the country and its image, and never apologizes," the BJP leader said.
