'It shows his greatness', PM Modi Lauds RS Deputy Chairman
Showering praise on the deputy chairman of Rajya Sabha Harivansh Narayan Singh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that deputy chairman’s inspiring and statesman like conduct will make every democracy lover proud.
PM Modi took to his twitter handle to praise the Chairman. “To personally serve tea to those who attacked and insulted him a few days ago as well as those sitting on Dharna shows that Shri Harivansh Ji has been blessed with a humble mind and a big heart. It shows his greatness. I join the people of India in congratulating Harivansh Ji”, he tweeted.
PM Modi further said that this act showed Harivansh's greatness.
"For centuries, the great land of Bihar has been teaching us the values of democracy. In line with that wonderful ethos, MP from Bihar and Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairperson Shri Harivansh Ji’s inspiring and statesman like conduct this morning will make every democracy lover proud," PM said in another tweet.
One of the suspended MPs and AAP leader Sanjay Singh was quick to respond to PM Modi’s tweet. “Modi ji we are not fighting over tea. We are fighting for the welfare of farmers”, he tweeted.
Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh arrived this morning with tea for the eight opposition members who had spent the night on the lawns of Parliament to protest the passage of two contentious farm bills without a division of votes on Sunday in the Upper House. However, the suspended MPs refused to take tea from Harivansh.
