New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday said he will retire "at the right time", subject to divine intervention.

He made the remarks while addressing an event at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) here.

"I will retire at the right time, August 2027, subject to divine intervention," he said in a lighter vein.
