I am resigning my post in the parliament. I have done this because I think it is the right thing to do.

For the last two days, some people in the country were trying to create an impression that parliament was being misused for my benefit.

For the last two days, some people have been trying to create an atmosphere as if the Government and Parliament are being used to favor me. This has hurt me very much.

It was through the private world of family that the public world of politics came alive for me: living in intimate proximity with people for whom larger questions of ideology and belief, as well as issues relating to politics and governance, were vivid daily realities.

Together we can face any challenges as deep as the ocean and as high as the sky.

The future of each of us is inter-connected and all of us should work together by following the path laid down by former leaders of the party for the development of the country and its brighter future.
