Here in Central Hall there are MPs cutting across party lines.
There is also order in Central Hall, which should make both presiding officers, the Rajya Sabha Chairman and the Lok Sabha Speaker happy: PM @narendramodi
Important for MPs to express the voice of the poor and the marginalised.

Sadly, when there is noise and chaos in the House, MPs are not able to speak and the loss is of the entire nation's: PM @narendramodi
Parliament is a forum to debate and even criticise the Government. The words spoken in Parliament are on record and they will be a part of the history books. That is why, it is important for Parliament to function effectively: PM @narendramodi https://t.co/ybWTbpVjuQ
