Parliament Live Updates: Oppn Insulted Country's Mandate, Abused Prime Minister, Says Kiren Rijiju Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju says, "...You all must have seen yesterday's discussion. After the presentation of the first budget of the historic third term under the leadership of PM Modi, the country wants to see that the discussion on the budget takes place in a good and meaningful manner. The way the leaders of some parties commented during the budget session and the way they gave speeches, I would like to say that they have insulted the House by lowering the dignity of the budget session. The Prime Minister has already said that whatever had to be done for the party has been done in the elections, now everyone has to work together for the country, not for the party. Yesterday the opposition people did not say anything on the budget, they just did politics. They have insulted the mandate of the country and the opposition people have abused the Prime Minister."
