'No need for storm': PM calls for productive Monsoon Session
What's the story
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for a productive Monsoon Session of Parliament, saying when meaningful debate is backed by fact and logic, "there is no room for a storm." "Regardless of their party affiliation, they (MPs) possess...wealth of experience. At a time like this, both Parliament and the country need their experience and knowledge. Therefore, the functioning of Parliament, meaningful discussions, and a collective resolve to take the nation forward are, I believe, the need of the hour."
Modi
'Be it monsoon or the monsoon session...'
He said a productive Monsoon Session of Parliament would lead to the welfare of the nation and the well-being of all living beings.
"Be it the monsoon or the monsoon session- if both are proactive, they prove to be highly productive. And when both are productive, it leads to the welfare of the nation and the well-being of all living beings. That is why we pray...the monsoon remains both proactive and productive, and the monsoon session proves productive as well."
