The Congress is trying to move the no confidence motion against Jagdeep Dhnakar the chief of Rajya Sabha.They charge that his attitude is partisan.”50 signatures are required (for the motion to be tabled) but we have got 70. We are confident that we can bring this no-confidence motion against the Rajya Sabha chair,” Ms Ranjan said.
She said other opposition parties will also support the Congress.”Everyone has come together… what happened inside the House was unfortunate and unprecedented.”
Calls for a vote against Mr Dhankhar erupted Monday after chaos in the Upper House; this was after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party attacked senior Congress leaders – Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi – over alleged links to businessman George Soros and a media organisation partly funded by his foundation.
The concerted attacks by the BJP come as the opposition tries to raise issues like the violence in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal over the survey of a mosque and the United States indictment against the Directors of Adani Green Energy – a renewable energy company owned by the Adani Group.
It also follows the publication of a report by French media company Mediapart that claimed “hidden links between the OCCRP (Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project) and the US government”.
