Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday urged lawmakers to ensure a “productive” Monsoon Session of Parliament, saying meaningful debate backed by facts, and not disruption, should guide proceedings. He also lauded India’s growing space sector, praising startup Skyroot Aerospace, while taking a veiled swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by referring to a “56-year-old youth”.
Addressing the media ahead of the start of the Monsoon Session, Modi drew a parallel between the rainy season and Parliament’s functioning.
“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 that the monsoon remains both proactive and productive, and that the monsoon session proves productive as well,” he said.
Calling for constructive discussions in both Houses, the prime minister said Parliament should become a platform for reasoned debate.
“May the spirit of that growth fuel our Parliament session. Where there is a strong argument, strong facts, there is no need for a storm (toofan). May every voice find space,” Modi said.
