The BAC had met to kind out the stalemate over the impeachment movement moved by Opposition MPs in opposition to Justice Yashwant Varma of the Allahabad Excessive Courtroom. Whereas the Rajya Sabha chairman introduced that he had obtained the movement and located it to be so as, the federal government apparently wished the movement to be moved by itself within the Lok Sabha.

With discussions inconclusive, it was determined to convene one other assembly of the BAC at 4:30 p.m. once more the identical day. No person from the federal government facet, nonetheless, turned up for the assembly. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh later claimed that he was with the vp until 5:30 p.m. and had spoken to him final at 7:30 p.m. — and Mr Dhankhar didn’t complain of any discomfort on this time.
