We hope of good debates, PM Modi ahead of Winter Session of Parliament
New Delhi, Nov 16 (IBNS): Amid the shadow of demonetisation protest by Opposition and ahead of the beginning of the Winter Session of the Indian Parliament on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he hoped there would be good debates on issues in the house in an open manner.
"The Government believes in debating every issue in an open manner, as this sets the stage for very good decisions," said the PM.
"Am sure we will have good debates on various issues, parties will present their views on issues. We will talk about people's aspirations. Today the session of the Parliament is commencing. The last session witnessed the historic GST passage:," said the PM.
Justifying his move of banning Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes, Modi on Monday said the poor people in the nation are 'sleeping peacefully' these days.
The government has scrapped the Rs. 1000 and Rs. 500 notes with effect from Nov 9 to fight black money.
Modi announced the government decision on Nov 8.
Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee along with BJP's main ally Shiv Sena will meet President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday with a petition for a rollback of the Government's decision to abolish 500 and 1000 rupee notes.
However, Congress and CPI-M will not be part of the protest march.
