New Delhi: Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday said some "very important" bills
are to be presented in the winter session of parliament and hoped
that the opposition would not boycott it.
"I sincerely hope that all political parties will realise that we
have some very important pieces of legislation which are going to
be presented in this session and our country's sustained
development and prosperity demands that many of those bills should
be converted as acts of parliament," Singh told reporters here
before the beginning of the session Tuesday.
His comments came amid reports that the opposition National
Democratic Alliance would boycott Home Minister P. Chidambaram.
"As far as the boycott is concerned, I sincerely hope that the
political parties will resist any such temptation. There is
virtually no case for a boycott of the type that has been talked
about in the newspapers," he added.
Legislations like the Lokpal bill are to be discussed in the
session that ends Dec 21.
Citing a troubled global economy, Singh warned that a
mismanagement of affairs would spell trouble for the country.
"As you all know that the global economy is facing serious
difficulties and if we don't manage our affairs well, we can also
go down," the prime minister said.
"And I sincerely hope that at a time when the country is poised
for sustained equitable economic growth, all political parties
will make their effective contribution to making that happen," he
added.
