Prime Minister Modi says goodbye to retiring Rajya Sabha members

New Delhi, Mar 28 Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated the retiring Rajya Sabha for their service and extended wishes for their future.

Addressing members at the Rajya Sabha, the Prime Minister stated, "We bid farewell to some of our MP colleagues in the Rajya Sabha. The greater part of the active parliamentarians have their critical commitment, significance, and each one of them has tried to contribute to the best of their capacity for the bright future of this nation, and the nation won't forget them."

The Prime Minister also said few of the famous individuals from the House designated by the President, "We will recollect forget the recognized work of Parasaran Ji. The players who have made India glad, Dilip (Tirkey) ji and Sachin (Tendulkar) ji-in the coming, days we won't have the benefit of their essence. Everybody will recall Professor (P. J.) Kurien and his grinning face; this has been his forte and he assumed an important role in running the House."

"Unfortunately, you won't be a part of Parliament when the long due choice on Triple Talaq is taken," he included.

The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, prevalently known as the Triple Talaq Bill, was passed in the Lok Sabha yet will be yet to get approval in the Upper House.

Prime Minister Modi also asked that the active individuals keep on sharing their considerations on indispensable issues.

Fifty-nine Rajya Sabha MPs will retire in April 2018.
