'Bypass op with veg knife': VP Dhankhar's dig at no-trust move

Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar criticizes the opposition parties for their failed no-confidence motion, likening it to trying bypass surgery with a rusted vegetable knife. He emphasizes that any constitutional position requires dedication to excellence and adherence to constitutional principles. His comments follow the dismissal of the opposition MPs' notice seeking his ouster.

NEW DELHI: Taking a dig at opposition parties on dismissed "no-confidence" motion against him as chairman of Rajya Sabha , Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday said that opposition tried to perform " bypass surgery " with a vegetable knife but the tool in reality was "rusted". This was his first public reaction since the opposition MPs in Upper House submitted a notice seeking his ouster, which has been dismissed. "Just look at the notice against Vice-President.

Just look at the six links they have given. You'll be shocked. Chandra Shekhar ji once said, 'Never use a vegetable-cutting knife for bypass surgery'.

The notice wasn't even a vegetable-cutting knife; it was rusted. There was haste." Addressing representatives of Women Journalist Welfare Trust at his official residence, Dhankhar said that any constitutional position has to be vindicated by commitment to sublimity, sterling qualities, and constitutionalism.
