PM enters Parliament with hope, Opposition unrelenting

July 21, 2015 11:03

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hopes the monsoon session of Parliament will be fruitful and that all MPs will contribute towards making good decisions.

I hope that promises made by some political parties during the last session to help good decisions in this session will

be kept: Modi told media persons just before entering Parliament.

The Opposition-led by the Congress is expected to lock horns with the Narendra Modi-led government over the controversies surrounding External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

The opposition parties are prepared to launch an attack on the government over issues ranging from the Lalit Modi controversy to the Vyapam scam, with the Congress insisting on the resignation of "scam-tainted" ministers.

PM Narendra Modi on Monday appealed to the political parties for smooth running of the Monsoon Session and expressed willingness to discuss any issue as he said that running Parliament is a "shared responsibility".

While Congress made it clear that it will not allow Parliament to function unless the BJP leaders facing allegations quit, the government asserted that there will be no resignations and that it will not give in to any ultimatum.
