Breaking News: Opposition Plans Farewell Dinner for Former VP Jagdeep Dhankhar | ABP NEWS
In a politically charged move, the opposition has proposed hosting a farewell dinner for former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. Sources reveal that an official invitation has been extended to Dhankhar, although he has not yet accepted it. The opposition reportedly plans to invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior cabinet ministers as well. The gesture comes after Dhankhar’s tenure ended without a formal farewell speech in the Rajya Sabha, a tradition typically honored even for regular members. Opposition leaders view this as a deliberate oversight and are using the dinner as an opportunity to highlight what they perceive as disrespect towards constitutional positions. Analysts suggest this move is politically strategic, aiming to score symbolic points against the government. However, it remains unclear whether Dhankhar will attend. Reports indicate he may prefer to avoid such a politically tinted farewell event, keeping in line with the neutral dignity of his former office.
