LS Speaker Om Birla calls for meaningful deliberation, people-centric decisions during parliamentary proceedings

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Monday called for meaningful deliberation, people-centric decisions during parliamentary proceedings. 

In a post on X, Mr. Birla said, “The supreme temple of democracy, ‘Parliament’, is the highest expression of the people’s aspirations, hopes, and trust. Each parliamentary session provides an important opportunity for people’s representatives to translate these aspirations into meaningful dialogue, deliberation, effective legislative proceedings, and constructive participation for the welfare of the people and the nation. 

“It is hoped that all honourable members will participate in the proceedings of the House with a spirit of positive cooperation, while respecting the spirit of the Constitution, parliamentary traditions, and decorum. The completion of the maximum legislative and other parliamentary business is our collective responsibility. This is the best means to strengthen public trust and elevate the dignity of democratic institutions even further. 

“Let us all together make a collective effort to conduct this session with meaningful deliberation, people-centric decisions, and in accordance with parliamentary dignity.”
