Congress leader and the Leader of Opposition (Lok Sabha), Rahul Gandhi, while speaking at a function to felicitate the Opposition’s joint vice-presidential candidate, B. Sudarshan Reddy on Wednesday (August 20) raised concerns about the former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar‘s whereabouts, asking where he was “hiding” and why he had gone “completely silent.

Gandhi said that the day the Vice President resigned, Congress MP K C Venugopal called him and said the Vice President “is gone”.

“There is a big story about why he resigned. Some of you might know it, some of you might not know it. But there is a story behind it,” Congress leader said.

“And then there is a story about why he is in hiding. Why the (former) vice president of India is in a situation where he cannot say a word, one word, and has to hide… everybody knows it,” he added.

“Suddenly, the person who used to ‘burst forth’ in Rajya Sabha has gone silent, completely silent. So, these are the times we are living in,” Gandhi said.
