The Government, the Opposition and the Legislative Assembly should move ahead with coordinated cooperation so that the public's faith in the Houses does not decrease.
Expressing concern about the functioning of the Legislative Assemblies and its decreasing tenure, he said that due to this, the people's representatives can neither help themselves in nation building nor live up to the expectations of the people. Stating the need for building a coordinated portal of all parliamentary institutions for better efforts in view of the parliamentary system, he said that this would connect all the democratic houses with each other and it would also help them to clear their doubts.
