Jagdeep Dhankhar has suddenly resigned as Vice President, effective immediately, citing health concerns – two years before his term was set to end. This shocking move, coming right after the Monsoon Session began, has sparked intense speculation. Was it truly health-related, or was there more to his abrupt exit? Known for his outspoken views and frequent clashes with the judiciary and opposition, Dhankhar's tenure was tumultuous. From questioning Supreme Court rulings to allowing a motion for Justice Yashwant Varma's removal (after wads of cash were found at his home), his actions often stirred controversy. Now, the focus shifts to who will be the next Vice President of India. Names like Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh Singh are in the running, but social media is abuzz with other possibilities, from Nitish Kumar to Shashi Tharoor. The Constitution mandates that the vacancy must be filled "as soon as possible."

Shabbir calls for Bahujan unity
Hyderabad: State govt advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Sunday called upon the Bahujan communities to stand strongly in support of the Congress to save the Constitution from the efforts being made to allegedly change it on the lines of 'Manusmriti'. Addressing the 'Bahujan Alai-Balai' programme in Kamareddy organised by the All India Ambedkar Yuvajana Sangham, he said it is the foremost responsibility of the Bahujan samaj to protect the Constitution. The BJP's slogan of 'Ab ki baar 400 paar' was countered by Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra. "Those trying to change the Constitution and bring in 'Manusmriti' will not succeed as long as the Congress is there and Bahujans stand behind the party. For the first time in the country, the Congress govt is going to implement 42% BC reservations in the local bodies," he said.

Monsoon Session of Parliament: No more toolkit, just suitkit!
Just before the beginning of Parliament 's monsoon session, the all-weather babbler at the Oval Office claimed downing of five fighter jets during the recent India-Pakistan conflict . And in the evening of the session's first day, Indians were jolted by Jagdeep Dhankhar 's abrupt resignation as Vice President. In both cases the government decided to move on by either ignoring the remark or swiftly starting the process of electing a new Vice President. But the most interesting part was the absence of noise over 'toolkit'.

But its out-and-out absence in this session is as astounding as the freezing moment captured by Coldplay's 'kiss cam'. Maybe, a toolkit can be better termed a suitkit - do it as and when it suits you. Who knows that better than lawyers. At one moment legal eagles can be seen arguing in blackbuck cases, and at other they can suit up as constitutional experts. Live Events Whether the timing of the two unrelated incidents was just a coincidence or was there something more to it? The answer will continue to be speculative, at least for some time to come. But it's certain that this time the tools were so tightly fitted in a kit that they failed to slip out, fall and create a clattering screech.

Condemn efforts to ‘saffronize' education sector in Kerala, says minister V Sivankutty
T'puram: General education minister V Sivankutty said that the state govt strongly condemns efforts to saffronize the education sector under the guise of implementing the National Education Policy (NEP). He was responding to concerns raised in connection with the 'Jnanasabha' event held in Ernakulam on Sunday. "Attempts to bring the education sector under the influence of any particular ideology or political agenda cannot be accepted under any circumstances. Education should be accessible and secular for everyone. However, it is concerning that some organizations are trying to distort educational policies to suit their interests," the minister said. "It is particularly worrying that the vice-chancellors of five universities in the state are participating in an event led by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. Universities should be independent and impartial. Using institutions for political interests will have far-reaching consequences," Sivankutty added. The state govt is committed to protecting Kerala's public and higher education sectors, Sivankutty said. The govt's goal is to ensure an education system that aligns with the fundamental principles of the Constitution and democratic values. The public in Kerala will take all necessary steps to counter attempts at saffronization and uphold the secular nature of the education sector, he added.
