New Delhi, Sep 18: The achievements of Indians are the subject of discussion globally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated, adding that this is a result of their united efforts during the course of the Parliament’s 75-year existence.
The Prime Minister opened a discussion in the Lok Sabha on “Parliamentary journey of 75 years starting from Samvidhan Sabha – achievements, experiences, memories and learnings,” noting that Chandrayaan-3’s success had not only made India but the entire world proud.
“This has highlighted a new form of India’s strength which is connected to technology, science, potential of our scientists and the strength of the 140 crore people in the country,” he said.
The Prime Minister also mentioned that starting on Tuesday, the second day of the Special Session of Parliament that will last until September 22, the Parliament would move to the new building.
“All of us are saying goodbye to this historic building. Before independence, this House was the place for the Imperial Legislative Council. After independence, this gained the identity of Parliament House,” he said.
“It is true that the decision to construct this building was taken by foreign rulers but we can never forget and can proudly say that the toil, the hard work and the money that went into the construction was that of my countrymen,” he added.
The success of the G20 Summit that took place in the nation’s capital earlier this month was also mentioned by the Prime Minister.
“Today, the achievements of all Indians are being discussed everywhere. This is the result of our united efforts during the 75 years of the history of our Parliament. The success of Chandrayaan-3 has not only made India but the world proud. This has highlighted a new form of India’s strength which is connected to technology, science, potential of our scientists and the strength of the 140 crore people in the country. Today, I again want to congratulate our scientists,” he said.
