Sudden Resignation of Vice President Dhankhar Shocks Parliament

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's abrupt resignation has left the Congress and other political observers in a state of shock. The Congress described the move as 'totally unexpected,' indicating that the real reasons might extend beyond the explanation provided.

Dhankhar, who also served as the chairman of the Rajya Sabha, announced his resignation for medical reasons, submitting his letter to President Droupadi Murmu. This decision coincided with the commencement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, adding to the surprise.

Congress officials, while wishing Dhankhar good health, are hopeful that he will reconsider his decision for the nation's benefit, especially considering the major announcements he was poised to make, including those relating to the judiciary.
