NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu said on Wednesday the nation cannot fulfil its quest without a shared parliamentary agenda among different political parties.
He said this after releasing the ‘Rajya Sabha Calendar 2019’ in the presence of senior leaders of different parties in Parliament House.
Referring to the persisting turbulence in the Upper House, Naidu invoked 12 preceding chairmen of the Rajya Sabha who insisted on ensuring effective functioning of the House so as to contribute to nation building.
“I am pained by our inability to ensure convergence of different agendas into a national agenda. No nation can emerge stronger without such a shared parliamentary agenda,” he said after the calender launch.
Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh, Leader of the House and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad were also present at the launch. (AGENCIES)
