Efforts are on to divide country, insult its institutions: RS Chair
Hindustan TimesThere is an ongoing effort to divide the country and insult its institutions which must be defeated, vice-president Jagdeep Dhankhar said in Jaipur on Wednesday, in his first public comments after the Opposition submitted a notice to move a motion to remove the Rajya Sabha chairman. He has not made any other remark on the developments, but in response to Jairam Ramesh’s comment in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday that the move was intended to save the institution, Dhankhar said, “I don’t know who you are trying to save.” This is the first attempt to remove the chairman of the Upper House, but it is unlikely to succeed given the Opposition’s diminished numbers in the Rajya Sabha. He said the move to remove the V-P was an attempt to “defame and insult” the Jat community and the move itself was to deflect attention from the Gandhi family’s alleged “links” with Soros. He also condemned the Congress for the Opposition’s notice against Dhankhar and dubbed it a diversionary tactic to draw attention away from the issue of “ties between Sonia Gandhi and Soros”.
