Here are the highlights of what the PM said:
Here are the highlights of what the PM said:
- Unfortunate in politics that after death, few political leaders stay alive.
- They are forgotten.
- But some legends are such that the kind of life they lead and what they do, they become immortal - Girdhari Lal ji is among them.
- Not a single person of his family is seen in his photographs.
- That's a big thing that in such a long political life, and having been in power, with close ties with PMs, he had not a single family member in his photographs.
- Family can be seen only in one picture - his funeral.
- It is a message for today's politics.
- He followed principals of public life.
- Dogra was a good judge of persons.
- He appointed Ghulam Nabi as youth Congress leader.
- The example is the sons-in-law he has chosen (referring to Arun Jaitley).
- In this case, son-in-law not known because of the father-in-law or vice versa.
- These days we know what kind of things are said about damads (sons-in-law).
- Political untouchability is not right.
- Dogra would have opposed us, maybe he would have opposed his son-in-law.
- This is the holy month of Ramzan.
- I wish everyone the best for the occasion of Eid.
