On the first day of monsoon
session, Haryana assembly Friday paid rich tributes to late Prime Minister A B Vajpayee, describing him as a "statesman and an "ardent champion of the weaker sections' causes."
Paying Homage to Vajpayee, Khattar emotionally recalled his poems saying "his poetry was marked by nationalistic fervour and human values and inspired a sense of duty and social responsibility."
"Despite reaching the zenith of his political career, he stayed rooted to the ground and lived a life of simplicity," said Khattar, adding "He struggled selflessly for fulfilment of the needs of the common man.... he was a man with no enemy."
