In his maiden speech as the chairman of the Rajya Sabha on the first day of the winter session of parliament, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar said that parliamentary sovereignty is inviolable. He was referring to the Supreme Court judgment setting aside the Constitutional amendment to constitute the National Judicial Appointment Commission (NJAC).
