THE UNEASY RELATIONSHIP that Opposition parties share with Rajya Sabha chairman and vice-president Jagdeep Dhankhar is set to come to a head as the INDIA bloc parties have decided to submit a notice to move a no-confidence or impeachment resolution against him.
The Opposition parties do not have the numbers in the House to ensure Dhankhar's impeachment as vice-president but are contemplating the move "very soon" as a political signal.
TMC and SP MPs, despite skipping Congress-led protests, have signed the notice under Article 67(b) of the Constitution. This is the second such attempt by the Opposition parties this year. The resolution, however, should be moved with at least 14 days' notice.
