Congress Questions Lack of Farewell for Former VP Jagdeep Dhankhar
Imagine a important person, like the Vice President, who suddenly quits their job.
The Congress party is asking why this person didn't get a special party or goodbye, which is usually given to people who leave this job.
They say it's been 100 days since he quit, and even though they sometimes disagreed with him, it's the tradition to have a farewell.
The Congress also thinks there might be other reasons why he quit besides what he said, like feeling forced to leave.
Congress questioned the lack of a farewell for former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar 100 days after his resignation.
Former VP Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned on July 21st, citing medical reasons.
