Deputy Chairman Harivansh rejected the no-confidence motion against Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, deeming it "flawed" and "hasty." The motion, backed by the INDIA bloc, was filed under Article 67(B) but failed to meet the mandatory 14-day notice requirement. Harivansh criticized it as an attempt to tarnish Dhankhar's reputation, citing procedural lapses, including a misspelling of his name. The motion marked a historic first in Rajya Sabha, triggering uproar during the winter session. Defending Dhankhar, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju praised him as a "farmer's son" upholding the House's dignity and rebuked opposition MPs for disrespecting the Chair.
