The resignation was conveyed via a notification from the Ministry of Home Affairs under Article 67(a) of the Constitution.
July 22, 2025“Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar Ji has got many opportunities to serve our country in various capacities, including as the Vice President of India. Wishing him good health,” the Prime Minister wrote.
July 22, 2025Calling the resignation “abrupt and unexplained,” Tewari added that it would be appropriate for Dhankhar to shed light on the reasons, especially since the Vice President holds the second-highest constitutional office in the country.
July 22, 2025Congress MP Jairam Ramesh also cast doubts on the official narrative, saying the resignation was "as shocking as it is unimaginable."
July 22, 2025Dubey took to social media and posted, “Opposition is playing the role of Kader Khan in the film,” referring to the emotional theatrics often seen in Khan’s cinematic roles.
July 22, 2025Praising Dhankhar’s tenure, Ramesh said he made efforts to uphold institutional norms and maintain dialogue with the Opposition — rare traits in the current political climate.
July 22, 2025Calling it an unprecedented event, Dangi said, “I believe this is the first time in India’s history that a Vice President has resigned of his own accord. It reflects how the government wants to arbitrarily control every institution.”
July 22, 2025“Whenever I needed time to speak in the House, he never refused me. In fact, he gave me more time than usually allotted to independent MPs,” Sibal said.
