The Vice-President of India, C.P.Radhakrishnan on Tuesday released the book Sanatan Sanskriti Ki Atal Drishti, authored by Vasudev Devnani, Speaker of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, at the Vice-President’s Enclave in New Delhi.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Bhagirath Choudhary, Vasudev Devnani, Speaker of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly and author of the book, along with other dignitaries, were present at the event.
The Vice-President congratulated Devnani for authoring the book and described it as a timely and significant contribution, especially as the nation commemorates the centenary birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The Vice-President said that Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee was not merely an individual but an institution in himself, whose life and leadership embodied an unwavering commitment to principles and values.
Recalling his personal association with Shri Vajpayee, the Vice-President said that he had the privilege of learning from him as a Member of the 12th and 13th Lok Sabhas during his tenure as Prime Minister.
He shared fond memories from the Jan Sangh days, including organising a large public meeting for Shri Vajpayee in Coimbatore before the Emergency, an experience that left a deep and lasting impression on him.
Vice-President further said that Shri Vajpayee’s visionary leadership transformed India in multiple domains.
Referring to the successful nuclear tests at Pokhran in May 1998 under Operation Shakti, he noted that Shri Vajpayee’s decisive leadership demonstrated India’s confidence and resolve on the global stage. He also recalled Atalji’s inspiring slogan, “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan,” which reflected his holistic vision for national strength.
