Demanding clarity on VP's resignation, Congress general secretary in charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said PM Modi's "non-post" on X regarding the "forced resignation" has only deepened the mystery.

The Opposition party also said the "farmer's son" is being denied even a dignified farewell.

"PM's non-post on X regarding Dhankhar's forced resignation has only added to the mystery of his abrupt exit. Surely the PM could have been a bit more gracious -- he is, after all, the supreme master of hypocrisy," he wrote.
