‘Not even a vegetable-cutting knife’: Jagdeep Dhankhar’s first response to INDIA bloc’s no-trust motion

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said people holding constitutional posts are not in the position to settle scores, also cautioning against “orchestrated efforts” to harm national interests. Speaking for the first time on the opposition INDIA bloc's no-confidence motion against him, the Rajya Sabha chairperson said that one should not use a vegetable-cutting knife for bypass surgery while asserting that the notice for his removal from the post was actually a "rusted" tool. Just look at the six links they have given,” Dhankhar said on Tuesday in his first reaction on the notice submitted by the opposition INDIA bloc. The 60 Rajya Sabha members representing the Congress-led INDIA bloc who signed the notice had said that they condemned 'the partisan conduct' of Dhankhar, which, they said, is 'unbecoming of High-Level Constitutional Authorities' expected to act in accordance with and in furtherance of the principles enshrined in the Constitution of India.
