Assam violence
Asked about the adjournment motion BJP plans to move in Parliament on ethnic violence in Assam, Singh said: “We welcome Parliament as a forum for dialogue.’’
He said a decision on his statement on Assam violence would be based on what happens in Parliament.
Singh said he hoped all political parties would cooperate with the government in smooth functioning of Parliament during the monsoon session.
“I sincerely hope that all political parties will cooperate with the government in ensuring that this session moves forward smoothly to tackle the many legislative questions which are now before the two Houses,” the Prime Minister said.
