No-trust notice against Chair sparks Upper House uproar

Several opposition parties on Wednesday said the "partisan" conduct of Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar prompted them to move a notice for his removal as Vice-President and alleged that politics has taken precedence over rules in Rajya Sabha.

Addressing media, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that Dhankhar is working as a government spokesperson and acting like a school headmaster, often sermonising experienced opposition leaders and preventing them from speaking in the House.

Kharge also claimed that Dhankhar himself is responsible for the disruptions in the House. "The Rajya Sabha chairman's conduct has been contrary to the dignity of the post he holds. He targets opposition leaders and often praises the government," Kharge said. "Politics has taken precedence over rules in the Rajya Sabha and the Chairman has indulged in partisan behaviour," he alleged.
