Mallu Ravi said- ‘This is a political illness’
Congress MP Mallu Ravi said that Dhankar had run the proceedings of Rajya Sabha for two days without any trouble. He said, ‘His resignation letter says that his health is not good, but we feel that it is not a physical, but a political illness. “
Congress also appealed to PM Modi
The Congress party has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convince Dhankhar to change their decision. Jairam Ramesh said, ‘The sudden resignation of the Vice President and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha is shocking and strange. There is definitely something that is not visible.

Jairam Ramesh also told that Dhankar had decided a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee for the next day and was also going to make some important announcements related to the judiciary. He said that all this shows that resignation is really sudden and strange. The Congress also said that if Dhankar remains in its post, then the farmers will feel relieved.
