'Oppn should raise issues by following rules instead of disrupting Parliament'

The winter session provided 20 sittings of Lok Sabha and 19 sittings of Rajya Sabha spreading over 26 days

Expressing concern over reduction in the productivity of Parliament's winter session, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday said the Opposition should raise their issues in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha by following established rules and procedures instead of disrupting both the Houses.

"There are rules and procedures in place for raising issues, and we should follow those rules instead of just shouting, creating a ruckus, and disrupting the proceedings of Parliament, which causes great harm to the work of Parliament," he said while addressing a press conference following the adjournment of the Winter session.
