Deputy Chairman Harivansh Rejects No-Trust Notice Against Chairman Jagdeep Dhankha

• Deputy Chairman Harivansh rejected the Opposition’s no-confidence motion against Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.

• He deemed the notice an act of impropriety to mar the Vice-President’s reputation.

• The reasons for rejection included a wrong spelling of Dhankhar’s name in the notice.

• The notice was publicised by the main Opposition party, Congress, and was not addressed to any specific authority.

• Harivansh argued that the notice was a casual attempt to malign Dhankhar, listing events from his time in office in August 2022.

• He deemed the notice’s lack of bona fides and subsequent events as a calculated attempt to run down the constitutional institution and insinuate the personal image of the incumbent Vice-President.
