Jagdeep Dhankar forced to resign a year ago, wasn't even given formal farewell: Jairam Ramesh

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh recalled Jagdeep Dhankhar's sudden resignation as Vice-President last year. He stated Dhankhar was made to exit due to farmer distress and government insensitivity. Members of the Rajya Sabha did not offer Dhankhar a formal farewell. Dhankhar cited medical reasons for his immediate resignation from the post. He was the third Vice-President to resign before completing his tenure.
