Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday welcomed Vice President CP Radhakrishnan as the new Rajya Sabha Chairman, but mentioned the “unexpected exit” of former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who resigned on health grounds in July. Kharge’s remarks drew a fiery response from Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who flagged the “unkind words” used by the Opposition on Dhankhar in the past.
