Sansad Watch: The Dhankhar mystery and monsoon session chaos so far

Welcome back to Sansad Watch – your deep dive into what goes on inside India’s Parliament.

This week, the monsoon session opened with drama. On the very first day, Vice-President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar abruptly resigned, citing “health reasons” – but was that the reason? Why did PM Modi respond with a stoic tweet? Was this linked to the pending impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Verma?

Meanwhile, the opposition came prepared to corner the government over the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, and the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar. But did they get the answers they were looking for? 

In this episode of Sansad Watch, we break down the chaos.
