60 sign no-trust notice against V-P
The New Indian Express Shivamogga
|December 11, 2024
THE strained ties between the Opposition and Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar came to a head on Tuesday as the INDIA bloc submitted a notice for a motion in the House to remove him from the post, accusing him of partisanship.
Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Naseer Hussain submitted the notice signed by 60 MPs—including from the Congress, RJD, TMC, CPI, CPI-M, JMM, AAP, DMK, Samajwadi Party—to Rajya Sabha Secretary General P C Mody.
The motion said, "Unfortunately, Dhankhar's brief term has been rife with instances where he has acted in a manner that is explicitly partisan and unfair towards members belonging to the Opposition."
