Questions raised about former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar put to rest, report reveals personal routine
New Delhi: For the past few days, various speculations were being made in the political corridors about former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. The opposition had even alleged that Dhankhar was ‘under house arrest’ and had disappeared from public life. But now a report has put an end to all these apprehensions and clarified that Dhankhar is neither missing nor under any pressure, but is enjoying his private life in his official residence.
Dhankhar has not been seen in public since resigning from the post of Vice President on July 21 on the eve of the monsoon session of Parliament due to health reasons. Opposition leaders had raised questions about this. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had asked on social media, “Why is the former Vice President of India hiding?” At the same time, Union Home Minister Amit Shah advised not to exaggerate the issue and said that Dhankhar has resigned due to personal reasons and praised his tenure.
Dhankhar is busy with yoga, table tennis and OTT shows
According to the Indian Express report, 74-year-old Dhankhar is busy these days with yoga, table tennis and watching his favourite shows on OTT platforms. His mornings start with a session with a yoga teacher and evenings are spent playing table tennis at the mini sports complex of the Vice President’s residence in Lutyens Zone. His watch list includes shows like ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ and ‘House of Cards’. Dhankhar, a lawyer by profession, has been interested in legal and political topics.
Normal life with family, construction work continues in Jaipur
Dhankhar’s wife Sudesh Dhankhar has gone to Rajasthan by road thrice in the last one month, where construction work of two commercial buildings is going on on ancestral agricultural land in Jaipur. According to the report, a religious havan was also organized there recently. His daughter Kamna Vajpayee comes to Delhi from Gurugram almost daily to meet her parents.
Waiting for new government accommodation
Dhankar is currently living in his government bungalow and is waiting for the allocation of a new accommodation by the government. An official said that as soon as he gets the new bungalow, other facilities available to the former Vice President like a government car, escort car and security guards will also be provided.
This report not only clarifies the current situation of Dhankar but also puts an end to the rumours spread in the political circles. It is now clear that the former Vice President is busy in his personal life and is not in any unusual situation.
