New Delhi: The concluding session of the House on Friday witnessed an emotional L. K. Advani, a veteran leader of the Bhartiya Janata Party. The former Deputy Prime Minister almost broke down in the Lok Sabha when the other leaders spoke very high of the calm and composed leader and senior-most Member of Parliament.
The MP of CPM Basudeb Acharia warmly called Advani the father of house and the others followed the tradition. The current situation indicates that the veteran will not be a part of Lok Sabha anymore, though he expressed his desire to contest the election.
There were no bounds to the respect shown towards Advani in LS today as leaders of opposition also came together to praise the leader. It could be made out easily that the words of praise from opposition leader like Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde have melted his heart and he was full of emotions.
He was later seen wiping his tears as he no longer could stop himself from weeping and the speech of Sushma Swaraj was the last stroke that triggered him to cry.
There had been no official announcement of Advani’s retirement so far but the proceedings were more or less like a farewell on the concluding day of session.
