The Vice President also expressed his deep gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Council of Ministers.

"Prime Minister's cooperation and support have been invaluable, and I have learned much during my time in office," he said.

Dhankhar said that the warmth, trust, and affection he has received from all the Members of Parliament will be cherished and embedded in his memory.

"I am deeply thankful for the invaluable experiences and insights I have gained as Vice President in our great democracy. It has been a privilege and a source of satisfaction to witness and participate in India's remarkable economic progress and unprecedented exponential development during this significant period. Serving in this transformative era of our nation's history has been a true honour," he said.

"As I leave this esteemed office, I am filled with pride in Bharat's global rise and phenomenal achievements and hold unwavering confidence in her brilliant future," he added.

The resignation came on the first day of the monsoon session of Parliament. Dhankhar was sworn in as the 14th Vice President of India on August 11, 2022. As Vice President, he also served as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.

Why is Khera making cryptic comments at such a time? Can't we just wish the man well without political undertones? This is about health, not conspiracy theories!

The timing is interesting - first day of monsoon session. But health is non-negotiable. Hope media gives him privacy during recovery instead of speculating.

While I wish VP ji good health, I hope this doesn't become another political football. Opposition should show maturity like Chidambaram, not cryptic tweets. Let's maintain decorum!
