Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the media, stressed the need for experienced parliamentarians to ensure smooth functioning, meaningful discussions, and collective progress for the nation. He called for productive debates and respect for every voice in the House proceedings.
The Prime Minister encouraged MPs to engage in discussions with solid arguments and evidence, highlighting the importance of reasoned debates and mutual respect for diverse viewpoints.
