Parliament should function properly through dialogue: Piyush Goyal

Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha and Union Minister Piyush Goyal held a press conference on July 28 where he laid emphasis on the proper functioning of the house through dialogue, debate and discussion. Speaking further, he called the Rajya Sabha a forum to discuss public issues.

In addition, he also suggested that this logjam that is taking place frequently in the house due to the spats between the representatives of the government and the opposition should be ended through proper discussion and that everyone should participate in the proper functioning of the Parliament.

“The chairman emphasised that the Parliament should function properly through dialogue, debate and discussion. It is a forum to discuss public issues...He suggested that this logjam should be ended through proper discussion. Everyone should participate in the proper functioning of the Parliament,” said Piyush Goyal.

The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned for the day on Friday, amid continued slogan-shouting from the Opposition benches over the demand for a discussion on the Manipur situation.
