"Nobody has got a fancy for issuing ordinances. We don't want to issue ordinances. But a violent minority cannot obstruct a silent majority from taking the country's development forward," the parliamentary aAffairs minister said.

Noting that it is the right of the opposition parties to oppose the government, he said they can resort to democratic methods, like walkout to register their protest.
