There has been a general decline in engaging in dialogue for parliamentary activities, Sharad Pawar said. Earlier too, he said, political parties had differences but they tried to resolve them through dialogue.
Stressing the importance of dialogue in Parliament-related activities, Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar on Tuesday said the decision on the new Parliament building could have been taken through talks with political parties.
The senior NCP leader was speaking in a 'Sauhard Baithak' (meeting to foster amity) at Mahatma Gandhi Mission University in Maharashtra's Aurangabad.
There has been a general decline in engaging in dialogue for parliamentary activities, he said. Earlier too, he said, political parties had differences but they tried to resolve them through dialogue.
"I didn't understand why there was a need for a new Parliament building. The decision about it could have been taken through dialogue (with political parties). But I learnt about the new building through newspapers," he said.
