Lok Sabha Speaker Election: 'We Do Not Believe In Making Preconditions', Says Kiran Rijiju | ABP News

On the Lok Sabha Speaker election, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju says, "We all are colleagues in the House and we have to work together. When we give an offer to them (Opposition), we expect that the offer is accepted gracefully but that has not been done. We will appeal to them again. There is a simple thing to elect the Speaker unanimously. We do not believe in making preconditions for the post of Speaker. Let us concentrate and elect the Speaker and then we can discuss the other issues later...".  "

"...It is better for all of us to elect the Speaker unanimously. I think we still have time and we will make one more appeal to the Congress party but if we are pushed into the election, we are prepared..." He added.
