On former Vice President Jagdish Dhankhar, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal says, "After his resignation, we do not know anything about his whereabouts. I had previously heard about the 'Laapataa Ladies,' but this is the first time I have heard about the 'Laapataa' vice president... Now it seems that the opposition will have to protect him... I earlier called him; his PA took the call and said he is resting. After this, no one is answering the phone. Many leaders also said that he has not been answering the phone. So, what do we do? Should we have to file a habeas corpus or something else?... The Home Ministry must have received information related to this, so Amit Shah should issue a statement regarding it... I am worried about him..."
