The minister reminisced about his 25-year association with the old Parliament building, but said he is eager to start a new journey in the new building.
โMy association with this building as a Member of Parliament was for the last five years and a little more. But before that, as a BJP worker from Kerala, I have been coming to this House,โ he said.
โEven during the period of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, I have sat in the Officerโs Gallery as I was the Director General of Nehru Yuva Kendra. So, my experience and my association with this building is for almost 25 years.โ
Muraleedharan also highlighted the various bills and laws passed by the Modi government in the past years in the old Parliament building.
โAs Member of Parliament, I had the opportunity to be part of the historic passing of the repeal of Article 370, the triple Collapse Bill, the EWS Bill, so many historic occasions, many historic legislations,โ he said.
โSo definitely this building is connected with history, connected with Indiaโs independence,โ he added, calling the decisions taken by the BJP government in the old building of Parliament โhistoric.โ
