Sibal asks about Dhankhar’s whereabouts

New Delhi, Aug 9: Former law minister and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Saturday said he had heard of the movie “Laapataa Ladies” but never heard of a “laapataa (absent) vice president”, as he raised questions about the whereabouts of former VP Jagdeep Dhankhar.

Sibal urged Home Minister Amit Shah to make a statement on the whereabouts of Dhankhar to assuage concerns about his health and well-being.

In a sudden and surprise move, Dhankhar resigned as vice president on July 21, the first day of the Monsoon session of Parliament, citing health reasons. But opposition leaders have claimed that he was forced to resign.
