New Delhi: Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Tuesday that he counts himself among those lucky people who did not go to Pakistan and is proud to be an Indian Muslim. Azad said, I have always felt that heaven is India. I was born after independence. The veteran Congress said these things in his farewell address in Rajya Sabha.
Recalling the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir during his Chief Ministership, Azad said, “I pray to God that extremism and terrorism in this country should end.” The outgoing RS member, whose term expires next week, said that unlike Muslim societies around the world that are influenced by Asim, Indian Muslims live together and should continue to do so.
Azad began his speech in the Upper House by praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his colleagues in the Rajya Sabha and praising his actions. Azad said, “I have learned a lot from this Parliament. I was initiated as the General Secretary of the party during the tenures of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. ” Azad said, “I cannot forget how Indira ji used to tell us that she communicates with Atal ji and not BJP.” Late former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee also became an inspiration for him.
