Again discussion regarding resignation
Another video related to this tour surfaced, in which Dhankhar was seen giving clarification regarding his resignation. He said that he never said that he was ill. In his words, “I talked about giving importance to health, I did not say that I am sick.” It is noteworthy that in July last year he suddenly resigned from the post of Vice President. Health reasons were mentioned in the letter sent to the President at that time. However, the opposition had raised questions on this.
Speculation behind resignation
There was also a discussion in the political circles at that time that a situation had arisen in the Rajya Sabha regarding the impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Verma. 63 members of the opposition had signed this proposal and it was being said that Dhankhar had accepted it. According to some sources, after this incident the situation changed and he resigned. Although officially Dhankhar had cited health reasons as the reason for leaving his post. The same clarification had come from the government also.
long silence
After his resignation, Jagdeep Dhankhar remained away from public platforms for a long time. There were many discussions in political circles regarding his silence. The opposition had also raised the demand to give him a formal farewell. A few months later, he was seen in a program in Bhopal. During a book release ceremony there, he said that no one should fall into the trap of “narrative”. This statement of his also remained much discussed.
