Union Minister Kiren Rijiju dismissed the Opposition’s no-confidence motion against Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. The motion, signed by over 50 MPs, accused Dhankhar of partisanship. Rijiju defended the Vice President as a respected leader who ensures fair proceedings. He claimed the ruling NDA has a majority in the Rajya Sabha, making the motion unlikely to succeed. The Opposition criticised Dhankhar for allowing BJP-led discussions while rejecting their issues. Parties like the Trinamool Congress, AAP, and Samajwadi Party backed the motion, uniting against Dhankhar’s conduct amid growing tensions in Parliament.
