PRAMOD MAHAJAN CONDOLES THE DEATH OF SHRI KRISHAN KANT


Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Communications & Information Technology, Shri Pramod Mahajan has condoled the death of Vice President, Shri Krishan Kant.

In his condolence message, Shri Mahajan said:

"His untimely death has come as a personal shock to me. Shri Krishan Kant unveiled a new parliamentary vision as Chairman, Rajya Sabha. His commitment in adhering to parliamentary procedures, neutrality in conducting business helped see through many unresolvable issues and situations in the past. His Gandhian proclivities was a learning experience for all young Parliamentarians. His ability to balance different political perceptions not only won him admirers, it taught parliamentary democracy the value of integrity and independent judgement."

Shri Mahajan further added,

"His political career was linked to different critical phases of Indian History. Shri Krishan Kant’s personality provided the ideal bridge between pre and post independent India."
