‘Extremely regrettable’: BJP on INDIA bloc's resolution to remove Vice President Dhankhar

Hindustan Times  

Union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday called the Opposition INDIA bloc's move to submit a notice for removal of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar “extremely regrettable”. While addressing the media, Rijiju, the parliamentary affairs minister, lauded the vice president, who is also chairperson of the Rajya Sabha, saying that he is extremely professional and impartial. About 60 Opposition MPs on Tuesday submitted a notice for the removal of the Vice President and Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar alleging that his brief term has been rife with instances where he “acted in a manner that is explicitly partisan and unfair towards members belonging to the Opposition”. It is a matter of record that Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar has repeatedly interrupted members of the Opposition while they are speaking, unfairly used privilege motions to silence leaders of the Opposition, and openly delegitimized dissent with respect to the actions of the Government in the utmost disparaging manner,” the MPs said in their notice submitted to Rajya Sabha secretary general PC Mody.
