Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on July 18 that he considered Parliament a space for discussions with an open mind and urged all Members of Parliament to approach issues with the same attitude, and in many cases debate them to make the Monsoon Session a fruitful and productive one.
Addressing the media ahead of the start of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Mr. Modi termed the current session as “crucial” as it would see the election of a new President and Vice-President of India, that too in the year that the country celebrated 75 years of Independence. “We always consider the House to be an efficient medium of communication, where there is an open hearted dialogue, debate, criticism that is well analysed so that positive contribution can be made to policy decisions,” he said.
