Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar criticized former Union minister P Chidambaram for his comments on the new criminal justice laws, stating that a member of Parliament shows concurrence by not participating in a debate on a bill. Addressing Rajya Sabha interns, Dhankhar emphasized the importance of participating in parliamentary debates and criticized Chidambaram for not voicing his views in the House but making remarks outside. Dhankhar had previously called Chidambaram's comment that the laws were "drafted by part-timers" as "inexcusable," urging him to retract his statement.
