Spl Parl Session Day 1 live updates: 'We are all present here to bid adieu of our old building'

G20 Summit success is that of entire country, not of one person alone or one party: PM Modi in Lok Sabha

Emotional moment to bid goodbye to this building; many bitter-sweet memories have been associated with it: PM Modi on old Parliament building

"We might be going to the new Parliament, but the old building will continue to inspire the coming generations," says PM Modi in Lok Sabha. 

When I first entered this building as member, I never imagined that I will get so much love from people: PM on old Parliament building

In Lok Sabha, PM Modi says, "...Today, you have unanimously appreciated the success of G20...I express my gratitude to you. G20's success is that of 140 crore citizens of the country. It is India's success, not that of an individual or a party...It is a matter for all of us to celebrate..."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi says "...Today, the achievements of all Indians are being discussed everywhere. This is the result of our united efforts during the 75 years of the history of our Parliament. The success of Chandrayaan-3 has not only made India but the world proud. This has highlighted a new form of India's strength which is connected to technology, science, potential of our scientists and the strength of the 140 crore people in the country. Today, I again want to congratulate our scientists"

In Lok Sabha, PM Modi says, "...All of us are saying goodbye to this historic building. Before independence, this House was the place for the Imperial Legislative Council. After independence, this gained the identity of Parliament House. It is true that the decision to construct this building was taken by foreign rulers but we can never forget and can proudly say that the toil, the hard work and the money that went into the construction was that of my countrymen."

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla says "I want to congratulate each and every Indian for the successful organisation of the G20 Summit. I also appreciate PM Modi's vision to dedicate this Summit to the people of the country. India's presidency of the G20 has been people-centric and in the coming decades, it will give us a new direction. Under the leadership of PM Modi, the New Delhi declaration was unanimously accepted by the leaders of the world. India has been the voice of the Global South and under the leadership of PM Modi, the African Union became a permanent member of the G20..."

'Nirvighna roop se saare sapne saare sankalp Bharat paripoorn karega'...This session of Parliament may be short, but it is historic in scope"
