Unexpected Resignation Sends Shockwaves Through Parliament

Jagdeep Dhankhar's abrupt resignation as Vice President, citing health reasons, has raised suspicions of deeper issues. Congress claims his decision reflects well on him and poorly on those who elected him. Dhankhar, known for advocating farmer welfare and judicial accountability, recently underwent a medical procedure.

In a surprising development, Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned as Vice President and Chairman of the Rajya Sabha on Monday, citing health concerns. However, Congress suggests undisclosed reasons behind this unexpected move, reflecting poorly on those responsible for his election.

Dhankhar recently chaired the Business Advisory Committee meeting, attended by notable leaders like JP Nadda and Kiren Rijiju. Their absence at subsequent meetings raised eyebrows and reportedly led to Dhankhar's decision to reschedule committee sessions, hinting at underlying tensions.

Throughout his tenure, he advocated for farmer welfare and spoke against arrogance in public life. While his medical condition is a concern, Congress urges a reconsideration of his resignation, highlighting its significant political repercussions.
