Ahead of the Winter session, he urged parties to focus on policy and informed discussions, while offering tips to foster positivity in politics and responsibility among lawmakers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp critique against the Opposition on Monday, asserting that Parliament should serve as a platform for substantive debate rather than political theatrics.
