In a striking turn of events, former Vice President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar, has remained conspicuously silent for 100 days following his unexpected resignation, sparking widespread speculation and concern in political circles.

On July 21st, in a move deemed unprecedented in Indian politics, Dhankhar tendered his resignation, citing health issues, despite his public praises for the Prime Minister. This decision came as a surprise, leaving a void and a trail of unanswered questions.

Congress leaders, highlighting his adversarial relationship with the Opposition as Rajya Sabha Chairman, have called for a proper farewell, consistent with democratic traditions. The party has also urged the government to provide clarity on the true reasons behind Dhankhar's resignation.
