‘There should be tolerance towards people’s mandate’

Rajya Sabha chairman Venkaiah Naidu, in his “last remarks” in the House after members from across parties delivered emotional speeches, said, “People want the House to Discuss, Debate and Decide — 3Ds. They do not want the other D, that is Disrupt.”

New Delhi: While addressing his farewell function organised by the members of Parliament in the Parliament House complex later in the evening, Naidu said there should be tolerance towards the mandate given by people, and the members of the treasury benches in the Parliament, despite having numbers in their favour, should let the other side have its say. “Let the opposition have its say, then the government will have its way because it has the majority...This is my advice,” he said.
