Jagdeep Dhankhar, who resigned as the Vice President in July, made his first public appearance at a book launch event. Citing his recent past as proof, Dhankhar said, "I can't compromise on my 'kartavya' (duty) to catch a flight." "God forbid no one gets caught in the 'chakravyuh' (trap) of narrative," he said, adding that he wasn't talking about himself.
