DELHI----------------------------The reason behind the sudden resignation of former Vice President of the country Jagdeep Dhankhar is now slowly becoming clear. According to reliable sources and media reports of many reputed English newspapers, Dhankhar was feeling himself a victim of 'diminished role' and 'loss of respect' during his tenure. Many incidents like reduction in his foreign tours, violation of diplomatic protocol and not getting the proper level of respect gave rise to this dissatisfaction.

It is being told that Jagdeep Dhankhar felt that he was not being given the expected participation in responsibilities related to foreign policy and international representation. According to a report, he expressed displeasure over the fact that the number of foreign tours had reduced drastically compared to the earlier Vice President. He also said that on many occasions he was refused to be sent out without any explanation. Dhankhar was hurt by the lapses in diplomatic protocols several times during his foreign trips. In one incident, he was sent in the economy class of the plane, while during another trip, presidential level facilities were not ensured for him in the hotel. He was also concerned that the dignity befitting his post was not being followed. Dhankhar reached Rashtrapati Bhavan at 9 pm on July 21 and met President Draupadi Murmu and resigned the same night. This 'uninformed' meeting at Rashtrapati Bhavan became a topic of discussion. Behind his sudden decision, there was not only health reasons, but also deep dissatisfaction about institutional respect and efficiency. The opposition has become aggressive over Dhankhar's resignation and it is being seen as a 'disregard of a constitutional post'. At the same time, BJP is calling it a 'personal decision' and is making a strategy to counter the statements of the opposition with their own words.
