Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Monday, while emphasizing the role of opposition in a democracy, said an active opposition is important in a parliamentary democracy and they need not bother about their numbers but speak actively and participate in House proceedings.
Prime Minister comments came on the very first day of the 17th Lok Sabha. While speaking to reporters he asserted that this session will be productive.
Modi further added, “The role of an ppposition and an active opposition is important in a parliamentary democracy. The opposition need not bother about their numbers. I hope they speak actively and participate in House proceedings.”
He urged all MPs to think of the country when in the House and address issues related to the larger interest of the nation. “When we come to Parliament, we should forget paksh (treasury) and vipaksh (opposition). We should think about issues with a ‘nishpaksh’ (non-partition) spirit and work in the larger interest of the nation.”
