‘My political and social tenure not yet over’, says Naqvi after resignation

New Delhi: On his last working day as a member of the Rajya Sabha, senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi – who resigned as Union minister just a day back – said on Thursday that his ‘political and social tenure is not yet over’.
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, a popular face in the Modi cabinet and a Muslim face, resigned as a minister, as his last day as a Rajya Sabha MP. Whether Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi will be given the responsibility of a constitutional post, or be made Vice President or Governor, it is yet to be known.
“I understand that my tenure in Rajya Sabha has been completed, but my political and social tenure has not yet been completed. I will continue to work with dedication and concern for society,” Naqvi told ANI today.
Breaking the silence over speculations about him becoming the Vice President, Naqvi said, “No one gives responsibility, you have to take the responsibility yourself. You should move forward only by your instincts.” Speaking about PM praising him for his works Naqvi said ” Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought a big change in the history of the country’s politics. Those who are in government will always be a milestone. People who work in the social sector or in the political field, they must remain down to earth.” Adding further Naqvi stated that there are challenges in politics all the time, there are times of crisis in the life of every political party and every political person but we should get out of those situations and save society.
