Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday kickstarted the Parliament Special Session and bid adieu to the historic building. “This House was the place for the Imperial Legislative Council,” said PM Modi while addressing the Lok Sabha for the last time today.
“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,” the Prime Minister 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 five-day special session of Parliament will be shifted to the new House tomorrow, Tuesday, on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi.
“This is the time to move forward while remembering the parliamentary journey of 75 years,” said PM Modi.
