Breaking News: Monsoon Session Disrupted Amid Dhankhar Resignation Row, Opposition Demands Answers

Day two of the Monsoon Session of Parliament began with tension and disruption, following the surprise resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. Both Houses witnessed uproar, particularly the Lok Sabha, which was adjourned within minutes until 12 noon due to loud protests by the Opposition.The resignation, submitted late on Monday, has fueled political controversy, especially as Dhankhar is unlikely to withdraw it, sources confirm. His absence from the Rajya Sabha proceedings today further reinforced this development, with Deputy Chairman Harivansh presiding instead.Opposition leaders, particularly from the Congress, are demanding a formal explanation from the government, questioning what transpired within a matter of hours that led to such a sudden constitutional exit. The BJP, meanwhile, maintains silence, with no official response from Prime Minister Modi or the party’s top brass.While Dhankhar cited health reasons, critics speculate internal friction with the ruling party leadership, particularly following a tense exchange in the Rajya Sabha involving BJP chief JP Nadda. The situation has now become a flashpoint, potentially escalating political tensions further in the coming days.As speculation mounts over who will be the next Vice President, today’s session reflects a deeper unease within India's political and parliamentary landscape.
