The Congress-led INDIA bloc filed a no-confidence motion against Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, accusing him of bias and partisan conduct. Opposition leaders, including Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, claimed Dhankhar's actions disrupted parliamentary democracy, favoring the ruling party. Kharge criticized the Chairman for "headmaster-like behavior" and preventing opposition voices from addressing key issues. The motion, backed by all INDIA bloc parties, aims to protect democracy and constitutional traditions. The opposition alleges Dhankhar prioritized ruling party interests over impartiality in the Upper House, prompting this historic move under Article 67(B) of the Constitution.
