The two-day enlightenment program of the newly elected members of the Sixteenth Legislative Assembly, organized under the joint aegis of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha (Pride), concluded on Wednesday.
Addressing the concluding session, Speaker of Madhya Pradesh Assembly Narendra Singh Tomar said that in the assembly session starting from February 7, priority will be given to the elected members to speak in the House for the first time.
Tomar said that we should make efforts to ensure that every member gets an opportunity to speak in the House.
There is a provision to speak on written information during Zero Hour, but in the upcoming session it will also be decided that members will be able to express their views on important current events during Zero Hour. During this, he also explained the role of Lok Sabha and Assembly Secretariat in the success of the program.
Tomar said that this time 69 MLAs have been elected for the first time. The experience of this two-day enlightenment should be taken from them by sending them a letter.
