Bihar: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar plants tree in memory of his late parents at LN Mishra College
'Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar today planted a tree in memory of his late mother, Smt. Kesari Devi and late father Shri Gokal Chand in the campus of LN Mishra College of Business Management, Muzaffarpur, Bihar,' read a post by the office of the Vice President.
VP Dhankhar is in Bihar's Muzaffarpur to attend the founder's day event in LN Mishra College.
Earlier, as the VP landed in Bihar, he was welcomed by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary and Minister Vijay Choudhary.
Earlier on June 23, Dhankhar said that strengthening Bharat is the governing philosophy and resolve of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre, while speaking at the launch of the book 'New World: 21st Century Global Order in India' by Ram Madhav in Delhi.
'Friends, today, strengthening Bharat is the governing philosophy and resolve of this government. It is steadfast, firm, non-negotiable, and notwithstanding the critics -- it is spinally strong. The nation has never projected its stand so firmly. Let us not be misguided by the distraction -- who said what,' Dhankhar said.
'The government, and India and its people, stand firmly for the nation--nation first and our nationalism....Those who take a stand for momentary situations are not in the psych or groove of Bharat. Once we attain strength inwards, we can shape our strategic environment outwards,' he added.
The Vice-President also said that browsing through the pages of 'New World: 21st Century Global Order in India', he felt the imprint of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in the author's thought.
Dhankar said, 'Savarkar, despite all the untenable misgivings and misgivings in extremity, remains a celebrated thinker who stood at the wee hours of the post-war order. Savarkar, a staunch realist, believed in a post-war world where nations would act only in pursuit of their own interests, not based on idealism, morality or international solidarity.' (ANI)

Article 67 of the Constitution outlines the conditions under which the Vice-President can resign from office. Clause (a) refers to voluntary resignation by the Vice-President through a written letter addressed to the President of India. This provision does not require parliamentary approval and takes effect immediately upon receipt by the President. What happens after the resignation? Following a resignation under Article 67(a), the office of the Vice-President becomes vacant. The Rajya Sabha, where the Vice-President serves as ex-officio Chairman, is temporarily presided over by the Deputy Chairman. The Election Commission of India is responsible for initiating the election process to fill the vacancy, following procedures laid out in the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Act, 1952. Resignation under Article 67(a) is a straightforward process with no legal or parliamentary barriers. Once the President accepts the resignation, the process is deemed complete. Vice-President Dhankhar is among the few holders of the office to have resigned before completing the five-year term. The constitutional process for electing a new Vice-President is now expected to follow.
