Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Monday extended his congratulations to Manu Bhaker for her historic bronze medal in the Women's 10m Air Pistol event at the Paris Olympics.
People of India are safe because "our soldiers are protecting us", Birla said.
They wished Kharge, who is also the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, a long and healthy life.
Congress General Secretary in-charge of Organisation KC Venugopal said on Thursday that the Emergency remarks of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla were a “travesty” of Parliamentary traditions.
Earlier in the day, newly-elected Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla censured the imposition of the Emergency by former prime minister Indira Gandhi on 25th June 1975 under the Congress government.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday endorsed the censure motion read by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla against the Emergency in Parliament.
Three-time lawmaker and NDA candidate Birla was elected Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha. He is the second presiding officer to return to the chair who has served a full term after Congress' Balram Jakhar.
Addressing the House, Speaker Birla expressed his gratitude to more than 64 crore voters, who participated in the Lok Sabha elections, and to the people of the country.
The Congress leader asserted that the question is not how efficiently the House is run but how much of India's voice is being allowed to be heard in this House.
The Opposition had proposed the name of Mr K Suresh of the Congress Party, but Mr Birla was declared elected by a voice vote.
