New Delhi, Aug 8: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other prominent politicians on Monday attended a farewell ceremony in the House for Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu.
On Wednesday, Naidu will leave his position, and on August 11, his replacement, Jagdeep Dhankhar, will take the oath of office.
“Today we are all present here to thank Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu at the conclusion of his tenure. This is a very emotional moment for this House. Several historic moments of the House are associated with your graceful presence,” said PM in Rajya Sabha.
“You have said several times, “I am retired from politics but not tired from public life.” So, your responsibility to lead this House might be ending now but the nation as well as workers of public life – like me – will continue to receive benefits of your experiences,” he added.
Due to Muharram and Raksha Bandhan, the House will not meet on Tuesday or Thursday, according to sources.
