Kharge slams Dhankhar, says Rajya Sabha Chairman acting like govt spokesperson

New Delhi : A day after giving a notice in the Rajya Sabha for a motion to remove the Vice-President and chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, the joint Opposition on Wednesday alleged the latter was the biggest reason behind disruptions of the House and was acting like a spokesperson of the government.“Biggest reason for disruptions in Rajya Sabha is chairman himself. He's working as government spokesperson,” said Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge at a joint press conference by INDIA bloc leaders.Kharge said the position of Vice-President was the second highest constitutional position in the country.“Till now resolution for removal of Vice-President has never been brought because all the past incumbents have never been political. But today we are forced to say politics is being played in Parliament. We are disappointed that in the 75th year of independence, biased behaviour has forced us to bring a no-confidence motion,” Kharge saidHe alleged that the Vice-President sometimes praises the government, sometimes calls himself 'Eklavya of RSS’, makes objectionable comments on leaders and schools them. There have been eminent personalities from different fields, whom he schools.
