‘Bharat’ jettisoning colonial mindset: Dhankhar
Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday said that 'Bharat' is quickly jettisoning the colonial mindset and defying the earlier deified colonial ideas and symbols.
Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday congratulated author and philanthropist Sudha Murty on her nomination to the Council of States which, he said, reflects the resolute faith and confidence in her spirit of public service.
Conveying his best wishes for success in the constitutional responsibility, he wrote to her in a letter, “I am confident that you will avail this opportunity to effectively utilise cross-cultural experiences in the hallowed precincts of the temple of democracy.”
“I look forward to working with you, leveraging your rich knowledge and domain expertise, in legislative proceedings through wholesome debate, discussion and deliberation,” he wrote.
