"In my first address on December 7, I had reflected that the 'House of Elders', though not part of the official glossary, amply reflect uniquely significant importance of this institution. The nation justifiably expects the House of Elders to take decisive, directional lead in reaffirming and enhancing the core values of the Republic and setting up the traditions of Parliamentary democracy exemplifying the highest deliberative and emulative standards," Dhankhar said.
