All parties belonging to the Opposition INDIA bloc on Tuesday submitted a no-confidence motion against Chairman of the Rajya Sabha Jagdeep Dhankhar accusing him of being "biased" and for conducting the proceedings of the House in an "extremely partisan manner".

The Opposition parties had been worked up with the Chair in the last few sessions and had claimed they were not being allowed ample opportunity to speak in the House.

Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh wrote in a post on "X": "All parties belonging to the INDIA group had no option but to formally submit a no-confidence motion against the learned Hon'ble Chairman of the Rajya Sabha for the extremely partisan manner in which he has been conducting the proceedings of the Council of States."
