The Rajya Sabha was adjourned today after a heated exchange of words between opposition and ruling party members over a no-confidence motion against Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. The session, which began with high tension, saw members from various political parties demanding an immediate discussion on the motion, accusing Dhankhar of bias and misconduct during his tenure as the presiding officer.
Opposition leaders raised slogans and sought a debate on their allegations, while the Treasury Bench strongly opposed the move, claiming it was politically motivated and an attempt to undermine the office of the Vice President. The ruckus in the House escalated when opposition members insisted on their right to move the no-confidence motion, citing the Vice President’s actions in recent sessions that they claimed violated parliamentary norms.
As the situation became increasingly chaotic, with members shouting and waving placards, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar attempted to restore order, but was unable to calm the storm. In light of the disruption, the Chairman was left with no option but to adjourn the proceedings until further notice.
This development comes amid rising tensions in the Upper House, with opposition parties accusing the Vice President of partiality in handling parliamentary matters, particularly during debates on controversial issues.
