Kishan even shared what the Prime Minister said about the opposition, saying, “He also said something very meaningful: even if the Opposition intends to disrupt the House, you should remain on the premises and spend more time with opposition members. Understand their pain and suffering, why they are not allowing the House to function, and what their intentions are, while maintaining a sense of friendship with them.”
Kishan concluded his statement by saying, “He said that the future belongs to these children. If anyone is misleading them in their youth, it is the duty of our government to continuously show them the right path.”
