There has been no let-up in the Opposition’s attack against Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar who found himself at the receiving end of a fresh salvo fired by the Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge who accused the Chairman of “sycophancy”.
In the Rajya Sabha, Dhankhar briefly turned emotional and told Congress chief whip Jairam Ramesh, “You people forget relationships very soon, you do not remember relationships. You must appreciate the importance of relationships. Relationship should not be allowed to get vitiated, it should be taken care of and nurtured. If you want to hurt someone, aim for the person’s head, not heart,” Dhankhar said. Though Dhankhar did not make any mention about the no-trust notice given against him by the Opposition, it was obvious that he was referring to the Opposition charge against him of being partisan and seeking his removal from the post of Vice-President.
