HM Amit Shah appeals newly elected MPs to contribute to making of New India

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has appealed to newly elected Members of Parliament to overcome their political differences and contribute to the making of New India through their effective participation in discussions in the House.

Addressing an orientation programme for the newly-elected MPs in New Delhi yesterday, Mr. Shah advised them to study Parliament rules, traditions and use all resources available in the Parliament library to become an effective and ideal Parliamentarian. He said MPs should raise issues only relevant to Parliament and their speeches must contribute to the understanding of the



issue.

The Home Minister underlined the need for following time-discipline during Parliamentary proceedings.

Mr. Shah said each Lok Sabha MP represents more than 15 lakh people and thus has a great responsibility in fulfilling their aspirations.

Terming the Indian democracy as one of the oldest and biggest in the world, the Home Minister said Members should be aware that their speeches and actions are watched all over the world. Mr. Shah added they should contribute to elevating the effectiveness and image of the legislature.
