Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the maiden speech of BJP’s nominated MP C. Sadanandan Master in the Rajya Sabha, saying it shows his ‘moral strength and conviction’. In a letter to the MP, Modi also praised Sadanandan for presenting his points in a ‘calm and confident manner’ during his recent speech.
The PM said that Sadanandan may be new to Parliament, but you have brought with you a lifetime of service and commitment towards the ideology of nation first. When I heard you speak, I saw moral strength and conviction in your words.
Sadanandan Master expressed his gratitude for the Prime Minister’s praise in a post on X. Sharing the photo of the letter, he said, ‘I am really very lucky. Received a letter of appreciation from world famous Shri Narendra Modi ji for my first speech in Rajya Sabha. This precious encouragement from the country and its leader will give great strength to my cause and spirit of service.
PM Modi also mentioned the attack
PM Modi also said in his letter that everyone in Kerala knew about Sadanandan’s courage, but when he showed his artificial limbs in the Upper House, it shocked people in Parliament and all over India. Sadanandan had taken out his artificial leg during his maiden speech in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, which caused a lot of uproar and the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) strongly criticized it and called it a drama.
He had alleged that he had lost both his legs in an attack by CPI(M) workers three decades ago. Referring to this in his letter, the Prime Minister said, ‘People were not able to digest that in a vibrant democracy like ours, how could supporters of a backward-thinking ideology attack a hard-working teacher like this. Today, it is noteworthy that that backward thinking ideology has shrunk a lot, while you are proudly sitting in the Parliament.
