VP Dhankhar Resigns Citing Health; TMC MPs Express Shock, Surprise

Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar has resigned, citing the need to prioritize his health. The announcement came as a surprise on the first day of the monsoon session of Parliament. Trinamool Congress MPs Sushmita Dev and Sagarika Ghosh both expressed their shock at the unexpected news. Ms. Dev acknowledged that while they had disagreements, it is part of a vibrant democracy and wished him well. She said, "we’ve had many disagreements and many run-ins with each other. But I think that’s what makes a democracy vibrant." Ms. Ghosh noted that the Trinamool Congress MPs were not in Parliament, as they were in Kolkata for their "Ekushay July" Shaheed Diwas. The resignation was tendered with immediate effect. #jagdeepdhankhar #vicepresident #rajyasabha #itwebvideos #dhankharresigns #indianpolitics #parliament #monsoonsession #sushmitadev #sagarikaghosh #trinamoolcongress #breakingnews #indiatoday #ekushayjuly #shaheeddiwas
