Good news, Parliament is running, says PM Narendra Modi

The government is keen to get the GST Bill in the current session of Parliament.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed happiness that the Parliament is able to conduct business during the ongoing Winter Session.

“Parliament is working now, which is good news. The credit does not go to PM Modi but to all the parties,” Modi said while speaking at a function in the national capital.

Earlier in the week, the Parliament saw a heated debate on issues like "the rise of intolerance" and controversial remarks by ministers like VK Singh.
