Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has raised questions regarding former Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s prolonged absence and silence following his unexpected resignation last month.
On July 21, the first day of the Monsoon Session, Dhankhar formally stepped down from his post citing health reasons. However, his sudden withdrawal has sparked speculation among political circles.
Addressing Opposition MPs at the Central Hall of the old Parliament building during the introduction of Vice-Presidential nominee Justice (retired) B. Sudershan Reddy, Gandhi described Dhankhar’s silence as indicative of the “times we are living in.” The senior Congress leader emphasized the unusual nature of the former Bengal Governor’s abrupt exit and the lack of communication since.
Gandhi’s remarks have reignited debates on accountability and transparency in high-profile resignations, highlighting the growing public interest in the conduct of senior political figures.
