New Delhi [India], July 22 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday raised doubts over Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar’s resignation and alleged “behind the scenes” politics.
Addressing reporters in the national capital today Raut said that Dhankar’s resignation is not an ordinary event.
“Big politics is going on behind the scenes, and it will be revealed soon. The resignation of the Vice President is not an ordinary event” he said
Vice President Dcited health reasons for his resignation. Raut said that he does not believe it to be true.
Raut said, “I am not ready to believe that it is due to health. I was observing him yesterday. He is fine.”
“Something is going on, and we will find out soon. A lot can happen–just watch, something big will happen in September,” he added.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader also slammed the Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha, JP Nadda, for allegedly disrespecting Rajya Sabha Speaker Dhankar.
He claimed, “Yesterday, over the issue of Operation Sindoor, when Kharge was speaking, his mic was muted. ‘What you are saying will not go into the records,’ this was not said by the Rajya Sabha Speaker Jagdeep Dhankar, but by the Leader of the House. This is disrespecting the person sitting on a constitutional post.”
Earlier today, Congress MP Manish Tewari also sought clarification on the circumstances that led to Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar’s resignation and said that the decision is “wrapped in a mystery”.
Speaking to ANI, Tewari claimed that the resignation of the Rajya Sabha Chairman remains somewhat of a riddle.
“First of all. I wish the Vice President of India a very healthy and long life. However, his resignation remains somewhat of a riddle, which is at the moment wrapped in a mystery and rolled in an enigma,” he said.
Demanding an explanation, Tewari said that the Vice President should shed light on the circumstances as he holds the second-highest Constitutional office.
“Because the abrupt circumstances or the abrupt manner in which he resigned without any attendant circumstances to accentuate it is intriguing for the lack of a better word and while not wanting to transgress and intrude into the health of the Vice President, if it is at all a health issue, it would be helpful that since he holds the second highest Constitutional office, if he would shed some light on the circumstances which have left led to the decision,” he said.
Vice President Dhankhar resigned from his post on Monday “to prioritise health care and abide by medical advice.” Dhankar, also the Chairman of Rajya Sabha, sent his resignation letter to President Droupadi Murmu. (ANI)
