What is the Process to Remove Vice-President From Office? All You Need to Know as INDIA Bloc Considers Moving No-Confidence Motion Against Jagdeep Dhankhar

New Delhi, August 10: The opposition parties are considering a no-confidence resolution against Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar following the tumultuous end to the Parliament session, which was adjourned sine die on August 9, earlier than the scheduled date of August 12. This move is being explored after heightened tensions between Dhankhar and the INDIA bloc, with sources indicating that they may submit a notice for a resolution to remove the Vice-President from his office. However, there remains uncertainty regarding the technical aspects of such a move, as the House is currently not in session.

According to reports, the timing of the notice is still under discussion. While the opposition lacks the numbers to successfully remove Dhankhar, the potential resolution would serve as a symbolic statement against what they describe as the chair's "blatantly and consistently partisan" behavior. The proposal reportedly has the support of 87 members, and leader of the house JP Nadda was informally informed about the opposition's intentions two days ago.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Jagdeep Dhankhar vs INDIA Bloc: Opposition Considering Submitting Notice for Moving Resolution To Remove Rajya Sabha Chairman As Vice President.

What is the Process to Remove Vice-President?

Removing the Vice-President, who serves as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, is a complex process. According to Article 67(b) of the Constitution, the Vice-President can only be removed by a resolution in the Rajya Sabha, passed by a majority of its members and agreed to by the Lok Sabha. A minimum of 14 days슬롯사이트� notice is required before such a resolution can be moved. If the resolution is introduced, the Chairman cannot preside over the House during its consideration, although he can participate in the proceedings.
