Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi today said Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar will uphold democratic values as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha (RS).
In his address to welcome the new Chairman of the Upper House in the first day of Winter Session of Parliament, PM said Vice President is a Kisan Putra and he studied at a Sainik school. Thus, he is closely associated with Jawans and Kisans. Dhankhar has great knowledge of legal matters with more than three decades of experience as an advocate, he added. Modi also said President Droupadi Murmu hails from the tribal community and her predecessor Ram Nath Kovind too belonged to the marginalised sections of society.
PM also said the Winter Session of Parliament is being held at a time when India is beginning the journey of 'Amrit Kaal' and assuming the presidency of the G-20 grouping.
