Parliament Winter Session: Mayawati says matters such as Special Intensive Revision, Delhi air pollution need the attention of the House
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati said she hoped the Winter Session of Parliament would take up key issues affecting the public. She urged both the opposition and the ruling party to work together to ensure that proceedings in both houses run smoothly.
"The Winter Session of Parliament begins today, and like every session, there is an expectation that this one too will be quite tumultuous. However, our party desires that both Houses of Parliament be conducted in a well-organized and peaceful manner, so that crucial and important issues concerning the nation and public interest--particularly the severe distress caused by air pollution in the national capital Delhi and other areas, the practical difficulties and objections arising from the intensive revision of the voter list, ie, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and the troubles faced by BLOs, the primary officials responsible for this task, including the tragic incidents of suicides being committed by them--can be properly discussed, and meaningful efforts can be made toward finding appropriate solutions," Mayawati wrote.
