Congress presses govt to explain lack of farewell for ex-Vice President Dhankhar after 100 days.

The Congress party has questioned why former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has not received a farewell function 100 days after his sudden resignation on July 21, citing unprecedented silence from him since stepping down. The party, through general secretary Jairam Ramesh, highlighted that no such event has been held—unlike past vice presidents—despite Dhankhar’s contentious tenure as Rajya Sabha chairman and a failed impeachment motion, which was rejected by the Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman. While the resignation was attributed to medical reasons, the Congress has urged the government to clarify the circumstances, suggesting deeper political motivations may be involved.
