Congress leader Anand Sharma said on Monday that the “country belongs to all,” while pleading against drawing lines in the minds of young people as it will damage the country’s soul.
Mr. Sharma, participating in the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address in the Rajya Sabha, wanted more time to speak. On being repeatedly disturbed by the treasury benches, Mr, Sharma said: “I request you with folded hands to let me speak as this could be my last speech. Now you can interpret it the way you want”. His six-year term in the Upper House ends in April.
