With the Opposition seeking to corner the government in Parliament on the issue of corruption and price rise, the Prime Minister, Mr Manmohan Singh, on Monday appealed to all parties to jointly tackle problems facing the nation and promised a structured debate on matters raised by them.
“It is our sincere desire that this session should run smoothly and Parliament should discuss all issues of national importance and the government is quite prepared for any subject which the Opposition would like to be taken up,” Mr Singh told reporters outside Parliament.
The Prime Minister said the government would welcome a “structured debate” on various issues. Mr Singh said the matters which are in the courts should be left to the courts to decide.
Hoping the session will be “productive and “constructive”, the Prime Minister said, “I appeal to all segments of Parliament. My appeal to the Opposition is to unite on this occasion to tackle jointly and collectively major problems that our nation is faced with.”
