National desk:
S Phangnon Konyak also holds the title of being the first woman to be elected to RS from Nagaland.
S Phangnon Konyak became the first woman member from Nagaland to preside over Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. The BJP leader broke another record last week when she became the first ever woman member of Rajya Sabha (RS) to be appointed to the panel of vice-chairpersons.
Konyak expressed her pride and gratitude in a tweet, "Immensely privileged, humbled and overwhelmed…Happy that it was a productive one with The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Fifth Amendment) Bill, 2022, having been passed by the House.”
She noted that women were being given ‘respect and space in political leadership’ under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also thanked RS Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar for this opportunity. Retweeting her post, Modi called it a ‘very proud moment’.
