In a startling political revelation, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has raised serious concerns about Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's extended period of public silence, marking what he claims has been 100 days without significant communication from the constitutional authority.
Constitutional Position Under Scrutiny
The criticism comes amid growing questions about the Vice President's role and visibility in parliamentary affairs. Ramesh emphasized that as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, Dhankhar holds a crucial constitutional position that demands regular engagement and communication with the public and political stakeholders.
The Missing Farewell Ceremony
Adding to the controversy, the Congress leader highlighted a significant parliamentary oversight: the absence of a formal farewell function for former Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh. This omission has raised eyebrows in political circles, with many questioning the adherence to parliamentary traditions and protocols.
Political Reactions and Implications
The statement from the senior Congress leader comes at a time when:
- Opposition parties are increasing their scrutiny of government functioning
- Parliamentary traditions and protocols are being closely watched
- The role of constitutional authorities is under increased public examination
- Political tensions between ruling and opposition parties continue to simmer
This development marks another chapter in the ongoing political discourse surrounding the functioning of key constitutional positions and the maintenance of parliamentary decorum in India's democratic framework.
