Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu has urged the opposition parties to allow both the Houses to function for the passage of important Bills. Talking to reporters outside Parliament today, Mr. Naidu expressed hope Congress will stick to its promise made during all party meeting called by Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari last week that it will cooperate with the government for the passage of bills including SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment and Appropriation Bills. Union Minister Mukthar Abbas Naqvi said government is ready for discussion on every issue. He alleged that opposition is running away from the debate.
