Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, the Prime Minister highlighted the leaders’ decades-long association with legislative proceedings and their continued active participation despite long public careers. “The manner in which they continue to attend the House with such dedication is truly exemplary,” Modi said, adding that their commitment to parliamentary duties offers valuable lessons for new and younger members.
