Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge’s reference to former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s sudden exit triggered protests in the Rajya Sabha during the welcome of new Chairman CP Radhakrishnan.

Kharge mentions Dhankhar's 'sudden' exit in Rajya Sabha, Treasury benches object

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge&rsquo;s reference to former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar&rsquo;s sudden exit triggered protests in the Rajya Sabha during the welcome of new Chairman CP Radhakrishnan.

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday mentioned the "unexpected and sudden exit" of former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar as the Upper House welcomed his successor CP Radhakrishnan, triggering a brief uproar from the Treasury benches, saying it was not suited to the occasion.
Welcoming the Chairman on his first day in the Rajya Sabha on behalf of the Opposition parties, Kharge also referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement at the beginning of the Winter Session, and said they would respond later.
The Congress, he said, "staunchly stands by Constitutional values and time-honoured Parliamentary traditions". "Be assured of our cooperation in the conduct of proceedings".
He, however, added, "Fair and impartial conduct of proceedings, providing just opportunity to members of each party, is essential for credibility of this office".
He referred to Dhankhar, who had resigned from the post of Vice-President on July 21 over health issues.
"I am constrained to refer to your predecessor's unexpected and sudden exit from the office of Chairman, which is unprecedented in the annals of Parliamentary history... The Chairman Rajya Sabha, as the custodian of the House, belongs as much to the opposition as to the government," Kharge said, triggering uproar from ruling party benches.
"I was disheartened that this House did not get an opportunity to give him a farewell," he said.
Kharge also mentioned that Radhakrishnan is related to former three-term Lok Sabha MP CK Kuppuswamy, who was a member of the Congress.
"It is better if you keep a balance between both sides. I wish you a successful term... The background you come from was mentioned by the PM, but you should also not forget you are from a Congress family," he said.
"Secondly, PM gave a statement outside (Parliament). He attacked us indirectly as well, we will reply to it here..." he added.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, meanwhile, slammed the Leader of Opposition for mentioning Dhankhar's resignation on the "solemn occasion".
"This is a very solemn occasion... The Prime Minister has made very dignified remarks as part of the felicitation event. .. Why did the honourable Leader of Opposition refer to a case which was not necessary to be raised at this moment..." Rijiju said.
"The language you used for the former chairman, the way you insulted him, the motion you served, we still have that copy..." he said.
He was referring to a motion for the removal of the Vice-President submitted by Opposition parties when Dhankhar was in office.
Leader of the House JP Nadda also intervened, urging members to maintain the dignity of the occasion.
He also referred to the loss faced by the opposition alliance, including Congress, in the recent Bihar assembly polls.
"This program is a pious occasion. We should maintain the dignity of the occasion. The issue that the Leader of Opposition raised, if we start discussing this, it is irrelevant... We will also have to mention that you brought a no-confidence motion against him twice. It is an obstacle in a good and congenial environment debate which is going on," Nadda said.
"Talking about what the Prime Minister spoke outside... The loss of Bihar and Haryana must have given you a lot of pain... Speak about it when the time comes," he said.
Addressing the media on the first day of the Winter Session of Parliament, Prime Minister Modi said the opposition was perturbed by the electoral losses in Bihar and was unable to digest its failure.
"Defeat should not be the ground to create disruption. Victory should not convert into arrogance either," the prime minister said.
Parliament is not a place for drama, it is a place for delivery, he said, adding it should not be used by Opposition to vent out frustration after defeat in elections.

The month-long Monsoon session of Parliament ended on Thursday, with 12 bills cleared by Lok Sabha and 15 by Rajya Sabha, amid repeated disruptions, adjournments, and walkouts by the Opposition.

Monsoon Session: 27 Bills Passed Amid Disruptions in Parliament

27 Bills Passed in Chaotic Monsoon Session

The month-long Monsoon session of Parliament ended on Thursday, with 12 bills cleared by Lok Sabha and 15 by Rajya Sabha, amid repeated disruptions, adjournments, and walkouts by the Opposition.

Twelve bills were passed by the Lok Sabha and 15 by the Rajya Sabha during the month-long Monsoon session of Parliament, which witnessed repeated disruptions, adjournments and walkouts.
Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both House, the session has seen little business ever since it began on July 21 due to repeated disruptions and adjournments initially due to opposition demand for discussion on Operation Sindoor and then over demands for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Bihar.
The Monsoon session came to an end on Thursday.
The bills passed by the Lok Sabha are The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025, The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025, The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Manipur Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2025, The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, and The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
Other bills passed by the Lok Sabha are The Income-tax Bill, 2025, The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Indian Ports Bill, 2025, The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025.
The bills passed or returned by the Rajya Sabha are The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, The Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025, The Coastal Shipping Bill, 2025, The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Manipur Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2025, The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025 and The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025 Other bills passed by the Rajya Sabha are The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Income-tax Bill, 2025, The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Indian Ports Bill, 2025, The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025.
"This time in Parliament, there was so much ruckus and opposition didn't cooperate. Due to this obstinate behaviour, opposition missed participating in discussions on several important bills which were passed," a government functionary said.
In the Rajya Sabha, except for The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, which was passed without any disruption on the first day of the Monsoon session, the other bills were passed after some discussion amid din or only after the Opposition parties staged a walk out, the functionary said.

"In his death, the country has lost an experienced parliamentarian, strong advocate for tribal rights, and extremely honoured public representative," he said.
Born on January 11, 1944, in Nemra village (present-day Ramgarh, Jharkhand), he was from the Santhal tribal community. He founded Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and served as Chief Minister of Jharkhand three times between 2005 and 2010.
Soren was five times Lok Sabha MP and served as a Union Minister for Coal under former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2004&ndash;05 and 2006, he said.
He was elected to the Rajya Sabha in June 2020 and served until his death.&nbsp;

Amit Shah must take responsibility for 'security lapse' at Pahalgam: Mallikarjun Kharge in Rajya Sabha

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge held Home Minister Amit Shah accountable for the Pahalgam terror attack, citing Jammu &amp; Kashmir LG's security lapse admission.

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said Home Minister Amit Shah must take responsibility for the "security lapse" which led to the Pahalgam terror attack, and demanded that accountability be fixed.
He was citing Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha's statement.
Speaking during the special discussion on 'Operation Sindoor' in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in the Upper House, the Congress leader attacked the government and took a jibe at PM Narendra Modi's unscheduled visit to Pakistan in 2015.
Kharge said the prime minister should have been present at all-party meet instead of campaigning in Bihar, and questioned Modi's sincerity towards national security.
Demanding accountability, the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said the government should admit its 'lapses' and 'failure' in stopping terror attacks.
He asked if Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor's statement on security lapses was aimed at "saving" the home minister.
"Jammu Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha himself admitted that Pahalgam was a security lapse and what happened in Pahalgam was unfortunate, innocent people were brutally killed. (Sinha said) I take all responsibility for the incident. However the home minister must take responsibility for security lapse not the LG," Kharge said.
Congress President and LoP Kharge accused the Modi govt of being arrogant, and not responding to letters by the opposition.&nbsp;

Exploring Dhankhar's Unexpected Resignation

A day after Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned citing medical reasons, several opposition leaders raised doubts, with CPI MP suggesting only PM Modi and Amit Shah can clarify the real cause.

A day after Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned as vice president, several opposition leaders on Tuesday expressed bafflement over the sudden move with a CPI MP saying only two persons -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah -- can explain this.

AAP's Priyanka Kakkar dismisses Rajya Sabha speculation about Arvind Kejriwal

AAP spokesperson denies claims of Kejriwal seeking a Rajya Sabha seat. Kejriwal criticizes BJP for removing Ambedkar&rsquo;s photo from government offices. AAP protests in Delhi Assembly lead to the suspension of 21 MLAs.

Amid ongoing speculation regarding Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal&rsquo;s potential Rajya Sabha bid, AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar firmly denied the claims, calling them "absolutely wrong."&nbsp;
She stated, "Arvind Kejriwal is not going to Rajya Sabha. As far as Arvind Kejriwal is concerned, media sources earlier claimed he would become the Chief Minister of Punjab. Now, they say he will contest from Rajya Sabha. Both these claims are absolutely wrong. Arvind Kejriwal is the national convenor of AAP. I agree that his demand is very high, but he is not limited to any one seat."

Speculation arose after the Aam Aadmi Party nominated Rajya Sabha MP Sanjiv Arora as its candidate for the Ludhiana West assembly by-election, leading to assumptions that Kejriwal could take over Arora&rsquo;s vacated seat.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal on Monday took aim at the BJP, alleging that BR Ambedkar's photograph was removed from all government offices, including the CM&rsquo;s office and the Vidhan Sabha.&nbsp;
He criticized the newly formed BJP-led government, stating that removing a portrait of India's first Law Minister was an insult to millions of his followers.
In a post on X, the former Delhi CM wrote, "The new BJP government of Delhi removed Babasaheb's photo and put up the photo of Prime Minister Modi. This is not right. This has hurt millions of followers of Babasaheb."&nbsp;
He urged the BJP to reconsider, saying, "I have a request to BJP. You can put the photo of the Prime Minister, but do not remove the photo of Babasaheb. Let his photo remain there."
In response, AAP staged a protest outside the Delhi Assembly, displaying Ambedkar&rsquo;s portrait as a mark of defiance. This protest coincided with the BJP government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, presenting the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on the Delhi Excise Policy in the Assembly.&nbsp;
Amidst intense sloganeering, Speaker Vijender Gupta suspended 21 AAP MLAs until February 28. He also announced that a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) comprising 12 to 14 members from both ruling and opposition parties would soon be formed.
