Reflecting on the past decade, Prime Minister Modi acknowledged the contribution of every member of Parliament. However, he urged introspection among those who have strayed from democratic values and resorted to ruckus and disruption. The Prime Minister said “criticism and opposition are essential in a democracy, but it is those who have enriched the House with constructive ideas that are remembered by a large cross section. No one remembers those who have just created disruption”
Looking ahead, Prime Minister Modi emphasized the enduring impact of parliamentary debates, asserting, “Every word spoken here will echo in the annals of history.” He called upon members to contribute positively, stating, “While constructive criticism is welcome, disruptive behavior will fade into obscurity.” With the Budget Session underway, Prime Minister Modi urged all esteemed members to seize the opportunity to leave a positive imprint. He implored them to prioritize national interests, saying, “Let us strive to deliver our best, enrich the House with our ideas, and infuse the nation with enthusiasm and optimism.”
