If ruling party cooperates, Oppn would not create a ruckus inside Parliament: JMM's Mahua Maji - World News Network

New Delhi [India], June 24 (ANI): Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MP Mahua Maji on Monday said that if the ruling party cooperates, the opposition would not create a ruckus inside Parliament.
Earlier today, the first session of the Lok Sabha began post-general elections.
“The House did not function properly not because of the opposition but because of the ruling party because the opposition’s demand was justified, the opposition’s demand for a discussion on Manipur was correct… I think the ruling party should run the House by taking the opposition along because if the opposition’s views are not heard then what is the meaning of democracy?” Maji told ANI.
She further affirmed that the opposition will not create a ruckus if the ruling party cooperates.
“Now there will be a ruckus over NEET as well because the children’s future has been tampered with… If the opposition remains silent on this issue, will the country forgive the opposition? Such issues must be discussed… If the ruling party cooperates then the opposition will not create a ruckus because the opposition also wants the House to function, everyone makes preparations”, she added.
Maji’s remarks follow Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address before the commencement of the Lok Sabha session in which he said that the country hopes and expects the opposition to maintain the dignity of democracy, adding that the people want substance, not slogans.
“The country hopes and expects the opposition to maintain the dignity of our democracy. In a parliamentary session, people expect their representatives to debate and discuss issues that are important to the country. They don’t expect disturbances or hindrances in the parliamentary proceedings. People want substance, not slogans. The country needs a strong and responsible opposition. I am certain that in the 18th Lok Sabha, we will together rise to the expectations of our country,” he said.
Meanwhile, the first session of the Lok Sabha began with several prominent leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, taking oaths as Members of Parliament.
On June 26, the Lok Sabha Speaker will be elected. On June 27, President Murmu is scheduled to address the joint sitting of both houses of Parliament. (ANI)
