Have informed discussions on pandemic to better prepare for possible third wave: Venkaiah Naidu to MPs

“I appeal to all sections of the House to ensure a meaningful monsoon session that got underway today,” says Mr. Naidu

Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu on Monday urged members to have informed discussions on all aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic so that the country is better equipped to tackle the possible third wave. The monsoon session, which has 19 sittings scheduled, assumes enhanced significance in the context of the prevailing situation in the country and the suffering of the people further compounded by the possible third wave, he said. Asserting that Parliament cannot afford to let the people down in their hour of pain and suffering, Mr. Naidu said, “I appeal to all sections of the House to ensure a meaningful monsoon session that got underway today.”
