  • The INDIA bloc has accused Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar of bias, citing his acceptance of BJP speeches linking Sonia Gandhi to George Soros while dismissing 11 opposition notices

The article from Business Standard discusses the reasons behind the INDIA bloc's no-confidence motion against Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.

Key issues include his decisions on the expunction of remarks made by opposition MPs, his approach to managing disruptions in the House, and his perceived leniency towards BJP members.
