Blend of Emotional & Patriotic feelings seen never before in Rajya Sabha
Bureau,Odishabarta
DELHI:Salute to Prime Minister for first-ever salute at floor of the House (Rajya Sabha) by a Prime Minister to retiring leader of opposition when Narender Modi in his highly emotional farewell speech to Gulam Nabi Azad recalled telephonic conversation with him when both these leaders were Chief Ministers of Gujarat and Jammu-Kashmir respectively, and Gulam Nabi Azad at that time shared his emotions and anger with Narender Modi on the shocking incident. Gulam Nabi Azad also gave a fitting reply to his own party-colleagues when he mentioned that he was much happier to be a Hindustani Muslim rather than being a Pakistani citizen. It is noteworthy that Congress maintained an undue silence on comments of former Vice President and others who openly expressed that Muslims in India did not feel comfortable.
Such respect for opposition leader was seen only in era of PV Narsimharao as Prime Minister when he trusted the then opposition leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee for leading Indian delegation at a crucial special session of the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) in Geneva where a Pakistan-sponsored resolution was there to censure India on its record of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir.
However political repercussions of emotional exchange between Narender Modi and Gulam Nabi Azad as seen by some political analysists are noteworthy in tune with comment of Ramdass Athwale that ruling alliance was ready to bring Azad back in Rajya Sabha.
