Dhankhar's Surprise Resignation, | The Wire Wrap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-M-ymb5g8A
Jul 25, 2025
In a sudden and surprising move early this week, Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from his post as vice-president of India late on Monday evening, effective immediately. While he said he was responding to “medical advice”, the way the resignation occurred – just hours after he had been sitting chairing the Rajya Sabha on the opening day of the monsoon session – left most commentators believing that a political disagreement is at play. Jahnavi Sen is joined by The Wire's editor Seema Chishti and senior journalist and commentator Sanjay Jha to discuss what this means.
The three also talk about the Bombay high court judgment acquitting 12 men in the July 11, 2006 serial train blasts in Mumbai that killed 189 people. Eleven of these men had spent 19 years in jail while the 12th passed away in custody in 2001.
In conclusion, they discuss the questions raised by the opposition about the Election Commission, as well as the ongoing 'special intensive review' of electoral rolls in Bihar.
