Lawmakers of the Opposition's INDIA bloc on Tuesday submitted a notice to move a motion for removal of vice president and Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, a step that may not end in favour of the Opposition but is the first attempt to remove the chairman of the Upper House.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh who put out the information about the notice said, "All parties belonging to the INDIA group have had no option but to formally submit a no-confidence motion against the learned Hon'ble Chairman of the Rajya Sabha for the extremely partisan manner in which he has been conducting the proceedings of the Council of States."
