While congratulating the nation on the successful G20 Summit, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar Monday said in the Rajya Sabha that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “vision” made India’s presidency a “people’s G20”. Starting the special session of Parliament, Dhankhar made a statement regarding the recently concluded G20 Summit.
“I laud the Prime Minister’s vision that made it truly the people’s G20. More than 200 meetings in 60 cities covering all the states and union territories of India is unprecedented. At the same time, the G20 New Delhi leaders’ summit with 42 delegations was one of the largest in size, scale and scope. This has provided opportunity to the world to experience richness of diversity, democracy and talent of India. India’s G20 presidency has proven to be inclusive, ambitious, action-oriented, decisive and people-centric. The outcomes of the G20 leaders’ summit are transformational and would contribute to the reshaping of the global world order in the decades ahead,” Dhankhar said.
He added that the prime minister’s initiative had led to the “historic decision” to accept the African Union as a member of G20.
Later, Dhankhar called on the House to discuss the “Parliamentary journey of 75 years”, starting with the Constituent Assembly debates, as listed on the agenda for the day.
“Deliberations in the Constituent Assembly in various sessions spread over three years exemplified decorum and healthy debate. Contentious and highly divisive issues were negotiated in a spirit of consensus. There is enough takeaway from this for us all. Healthy debate is hallmark of a blossoming democracy. We must eschew confrontational posturing. Weaponising disruption and disturbance as strategy would never secure sanction of the people,” he said.
