It was certain that the rainy season of Parliament is going to be uproar and challenging for the government. But before the session, the farewell of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar came to light due to surrounded and darkness on the evening of 21 July. That too such silent farewell that after a week, his discovery and news is only missed by speculations. It was not even speculation to leave it. Then, the absence of his farewell ceremony was indicated. A day later, the message like Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “he got a chance to serve many important positions” from the ruling NDA also raised his ear. The opposition was also so stunned that if some tones arose in sympathy, most of them are probably in such a way that it is as much as done. The opposition was so sure that the reasons “health problems and doctors’ advice in the resignation were not far away. After all, the entire day or evening was active in the Dhankar Rajya Sabha till the shadow of the evening or evening. Then no one reached to know their condition from the government side, nor did their doors open to anyone. There are also reports of sealing his office and removing his team. In the most shocking half -term, surprise farewell to the post of second number of Shikhar, which became a new Nazir in the history of independent India. Now the Election Commission has started the process of election of the new Vice President. But it can only happen after the end of the session on August 21.
There have been resignations before this but due to the hope of the post of President. Like V.V. in the seventies K.R. Narayanan. Or the post has been vacant in the middle tenure due to death. But Dhankhar Saheb became a new example or forced to create. In theory, the post of Vice President is above the political fabric and its political transaction is just as the ex -officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. This is the screw here. The Chairman should conduct the Rajya Sabha on the scheme of the government party or follow the constitutional system and dignity. Dhankhar was probably seen to be pronounced according to the government party before July 21. Last year, he suspended most of the members of the opposition and established a new Nazir. Then 146 MPs were suspended from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Not only this, the opposition had also brought a motion of no confidence against him, which was suddenly postponed and made meaningless by postponing the Rajya Sabha.
Dhankhar Saheb was leaving no stone unturned to fight with the judiciary in recently and the adverse decisions of the government. He had described Parliament as supreme, not the Constitution and called the judiciary’s right to decide the time limit of approval on a bill for the President or the Governor.
Earlier, while being the Governor of West Bengal, he did not let the Trinamool Congress government headed by Mamata Banerjee go by hand to take a chance to take on his hand. The allegations were also bouncing that he had converted the Raj Bhavan to the BJP office itself. Several Bills passed in the assembly were kept hanging. Above all, they did not even hesitate to publicly make statements against the government, which they were called formal heads. Once the new assembly session started, the government refused to read the written reading in the Governor’s address, as tradition.
It is said that his vocal support towards the politics of the Center in Bengal was the basis of his Vice President’s hope. It is also speculated that his ambition was to reach the post of first number summit or the President’s seat and that is why he was openly supporting the support of the government so much that the dignity was also forgotten. In some cases also, such as SP MP Jaya Bachchan’s case is prevalent. In the Rajya Sabha, it was common to not even let the Leader of Opposition, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge speak, he was not averse to rejecting most of the opposition notices. It is here that the secret is hidden that what happened that they got down? Was the sourness already going on, which became very bitter on 21 July?
In this session of Parliament, issues can really see the government difficult. The accountability of the Pahalgam terror attack, the sudden conflict of the conflict in Operation Sindoor, the failure of the foreign policy, the Election Commission’s special intensive revision (SIR or sir) in Bihar are questions of banging issues, on which the opposition has intensified the edge of its arguments. Apart from this, there is also a case of impeachment on High Court judge Yashwant Verma. Verma was in Delhi before being sent to the Allahabad High Court and was found in a fire-filled sacks filled with notes due to fire in his residence’s outhouse. In this case, he was convicted by the Supreme Court committee, against which an anonymous petition is being heard in the Supreme Court. The question is also in the air that if Justice Verma denies the information of the sacks of notes, then whose sacks were these sacks.
Directly, the matter of impeachment against Justice Verma is being said to be the reason for the extreme bitterness between the government party and the Dhankar. Perhaps the BJP wanted the impeachment against Verma to be an example of corruption in the judiciary and the government’s intervention in the appointments of the upper judiciary increased, as was arranged under the NJAC but in 2015 it was called unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. So she wanted to bring her to the Lok Sabha, which has now been introduced with the signature of 152 MPs. On the other hand, the opposition in the Rajya Sabha had also given notice of impeachment against Verma and Allahabad High Court Judge Shekhar Yadav. So, on July 21, Chairman Dhankhar told the Rajya Sabha that he has got 63 opposition members of impeachment against Justice Verma and they are approved it. He also informed that the notice of 55 MPs of the opposition is also being considered against Judge Shekhar Yadav and one day in the budget session, suddenly the incident of notes of notes being found near Congress member Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s seat is being investigated. Singhvi had said that it should be investigated.
Perhaps this decision of Dhankar became the subject of controversy, because the notice was not yet presented in the Lok Sabha. But the ruling party did not want the opposition to get any credit or the Rajya Sabha also had a role in the committee to be formed for impeachment. Then, he also went to the information about impeachment against Shekhar Yadav, because the allegation against him is that he had said in a meeting of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad that things should run according to the majority of desire. The opposition considers it against the core structure of the Constitution, but the Sangh Parivar calls it according to its Hindutva ideology. For this reason, no decision has been taken on the notice of the opposition given in December last year itself.
But the matter does not seem so much. There is also a case that on the very first day, Mallikarjun Kharge was allowed to raise the issue of Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor in detail and Dhankar did not do any tokotoki as per his habit. It was seen as a change in his behavior towards the opposition. After all, why did the Dhankhar, who did everything suddenly change in accordance with the intention of the government. It is also speculated that in February this year he was indicated that his name was being considered for the next President. By the way, in the presence of Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan at a meeting in April, he said that why the government is not able to give legal status to the MSP as promised. A evening before the resignation, he said in the meeting of Rajya Sabha Intenses that democracy in the country is up to the panchayat level, in which power is not always in the hands of any one, so dignity and constitutional institutions should be taken care of.
Whatever the reason for bitterness, the rich people coming from the Jat fraternity in Jhunjhunu area of Rajasthan have rarely been known for any ideological request. He accompanied Devi Lal to Congress from Lok Dal and BJP in 2003. He has been an MP for a year and a half in the nineties and once MLAs and has also been a minister in the state and center. He has also been the President of Rajasthan Bar Association. So it is speculated that he came to know about some secrets of Justice Verma’s case.
His surprise farewell raises questions on the dignity of supreme positions. The government’s displeasure could not force him to resign. The speculation is that some MPs of the ruling party were being signed on plain paper, so that impeachment could be brought against them. His silence has deepened the mystery. Earlier, the matter of landing from the government’s eyes was with former Vice President Krishnakanth. In 2001, the then Home Minister LK Advani advised him to postpone the Rajya Sabha as the government was surrounded in one case. Krishna also consulted the opposition and did not do so. This did not make him a presidential candidate in 2002, while Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the opposition were united. Well, the case of Dhankhar Saheb has become a sign of the new stream of politics of the country.
