Governor all praise for PM for initiative on new parliament

Hyderabad: Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan on Thursday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for setting in motion the construction of a modern and imposing new building for the country's Parliament.

Participating through a virtual mode in the foundation stone-laying ceremony of the new parliament building, as part of the Central Vista project, she said the building would be the greatest ever tribute to democracy in independent India. It would serve as a true symbol of new, aspirational, strong and self-reliant India of the 21st century.

The Governor hoped that the building would further strengthen the democratic ideals of the country, which is considered as the most ancient and largest democracy in the world. The building would reflect the country's rich cultural, arts and democratic heritage and would continue to inspire generations to come.

"It will stand a great testimony to the country's cherished democratic values and ideals," she noted. Dr Tamilisai interacted from the Darbar Hall of Raj Bhavan. Governor's advisers APVN Sarma and AK Mohanty and Secretary K Surendra Mohan and Joint Secretaries J Bhavani Shankar and CN Raghu Prasad and other senior officers were present.
