India, April 4 -- Bengaluru South MP and BJP leader Tejasvi Surya on Friday commended former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda for his active participation in the Rajya Sabha debate on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which went on for over 17 hours and concluded at around 4 am.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Surya lauded the 91-year-old Janata Dal (Secular) leader, calling him an inspiration to all parliamentarians.

"Known as the House of Elders, most MPs from the Rajya Sabha are senior citizens. Former PM Deve Gowda Ji, even at the age of 91, actively participated in the debate and inspired all of us," Surya wrote.
