Opposition Initiates Impeachment Against Vice President Dhankhar

News summary

In a historic development, Indian opposition parties, led by the Congress Party, have initiated impeachment proceedings against Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, citing his perceived partisanship as Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. This unprecedented move, described as 'painful yet necessary' by Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh, reflects escalating tensions between the opposition and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Despite the symbolic nature of the motion, given the opposition's insufficient votes for actual removal, it highlights a significant rift in Indian politics. The motion comes amid a tumultuous parliamentary session marred by accusations of legislative disruption from both sides, alongside ongoing issues such as bribery allegations and ethnic violence. The BJP has yet to respond to the motion, which is unlikely to be addressed before the session concludes on December 20 due to the required notice period. This development underscores serious concerns regarding the integrity of parliamentary democracy in India.
