Chorus in protest: More than Dhankar’s resignation than meeting the eye. Bharat News

“He had set up a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee at 1 pm yesterday. He was yesterday to make some major announcements related to the judiciary. We wish him healthy health, but also request him to reconsider his decision. We also hope that the Prime Minister (Dhankhar) to change his mind.

Congress Lok Sabha member Imran Masood asked “What happened in only one hour that he had to resign”. “We pray that Almighty gives him a long and healthy life. I can’t understand the reason for this,” Masood said.

“Two and two do not always make four. In politics, everything is not straight. There are some things. You can think … tomorrow will bring answers. He could resign in the day, but it seems that he was under pressure or it was according to the plan,” said Congress MP Sukhdeo Bhagat.

Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Javed Ali Khan said that he had seen VP in the house and “it seemed right”. “Today, it did not seem that there is a health issue, but if there is an issue, we pray to God that he remains healthy. Things will soon become clear,” he said.

CPI (M) Rajya Sabha member John Britis said he was “upset with the news of his health reasons for his resignation”. Britis said, “The whole house was working with him – still. It is shocking that he has resigned.”

RJD MP Sudhakar Singh said that Dhankhar used to “look healthy” while presiding over the action in the Rajya Sabha during the day. Singh said, “There is no truth on this. Within the BJP and the government, it is a time of constitutional crisis … I believe this is a political crisis. The truth will come out tomorrow. It does not seem to have a health reason. If he is unhealthy, we wish him all the best,” Singh said.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said that Dhankhar has resigned, citing “medical reasons”, and wished him good health and long life.

Rajya Sabha member Kapil Sibal said that he would not want to “speculate” to the reasons for the resignation. He said, “He has said that it is health for reasons. Therefore, I do not want to speculate. I could say that he was one of the most active Rajya Sabha presidents we have seen for years. He would always persuade members of the two sides to work together,” he said.

CPI MP P Sandosh Kumar said that Vikas was quite unexpected and “We do not know what are the reasons”. Kumar said, “I don’t think the Presidents of India will accept it. This may be an initial response from his side. He may be dissatisfied with some developments.”

“Reports of the Vice President who resigned due to health reasons are related to this. We honestly pray for his good. However, a question arises, today the first day of the monsoon session is marked, and on the same day his resignation increases eyebrows … What is happening in this government? (UBT) said Anand Dubey.

The opposition has scored several runs in with Dhankhar in the past, often on his conduct as the President of Rajya Sabha. So much that the opposition parties took an unprecedented step to bring a no -confidence motion against the Vice President in December last year, alleging “biased conduct” in the upper house.

In his notice, the opposition had alleged that Dhankhar had taken himself to be the “indecent spokesperson” of government policies in public forums. He alleged that he was “clearly biased” and took the Rajya Sabha in “very biased ways”.

The opposition also accused him of disrupting his members on several occasions when he tried to speak. In his notice, he accused Dhankhar of repeatedly making derogatory remarks about MPs related to opposition parties and criticizes them for expressing issues with the government’s functioning. ,With PTI input
