In a significant nod to the democratic process, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini stressed the vital role of the opposition during the Winter Session of the Haryana Assembly on Thursday.

Marking the commencement of the session, Saini extended a warm welcome to former Chief Minister Bhupender Singh Hooda, who has taken the mantle of Leader of the Opposition. Saini expressed his belief that Hooda's extensive experience would enrich the assembly debates, making them more meaningful and constructive.
