PM Modi Advises NDA MPs to ‘Follow Parliamentary Rules and Conduct’

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to the NDA MPs on Tuesday asked them to follow parliamentary rules and conduct, and learn from senior members about the best practices.

PM Modi’s statement came a day after the BJP leaders accused Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi of making a “most irresponsible” speech.

Modi said the opposition is upset as for the first time a non-Congress leader has become prime minister for a third straight term.

Speaking to newsmen after the NDA Parliamentary party meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said Modi asked MPs to study parliamentary issues, attend Parliament regularly and raise the matters related to their constituency effectively.

Asked if Modi referred to Gandhi’s Monday speech in Lok Sabha, Rijiju said he made no such mention.

Sources said the prime minister asked MPs to study any issue before making comments on it before media.

Modi also asked MPs to visit the Prime Ministers Museum, noting that it documents the life journey of all prime ministers, something which was not done by earlier governments.
