“The Monsoon Session of Parliament is beginning today and it is my sincere hope and an appeal to all sections of the House to ensure that this session is truly productive of solid results. We have wasted lot of time in the previous two or three sessions and I hope that will not be repeated in this session. The Government on its part is willing to discuss every issue on the floor of the House and therefore, I appeal to the opposition to cooperate with the Government in smooth running of this Session, and to ensure that this session will be productive as well as constructive.”
