President Pranab Mukherjee thanked everybody present in the Hall, most particularly the Parliament for ‘creating’ him.
“If I claim I am the creation of this Parliament, perhaps it will not be treated as immodesty. The Parliament gave a direction to my political vision as I got to learn a lot from the serious discussions held in both Houses of the Parliament,” he said, adding, he attended the first session of the Parliament on July 22, 1969.
“For the last 37 years, I have been a part of five Rajya Sabhas, four times from Bengal and once from Gujarat,” he added.
President Mukherjee remembered the former prime ministers of India, including late Indira Gandhi.
“The Constitution represents the unity of the 125 crore people of India,” he said.
President Mukherjee expressed happiness over the fact that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime was launched during his tenure and disappointment over the constant downfall of the Parliament’s stature.
