Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday advised BJP MPs to maintain decorum while responding to Opposition criticism. He was addressing the last parliamentary party meeting of 2023.

The PM also expressed pain over the attitude of the Opposition in Parliament. He said that the opposition's frustration and anger is due to defeat in three states. Expressing concern, he said that the opposition is directly or indirectly supporting the security breach committed by the youth which is unfortunate. He said that the alliance aims to remove Modi but the government's motto is to develop the country.

PM Modi hit out at opposition parties over their protests in Parliament and asserted that their conduct will ensure that their numbers go further down in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls while the BJP gains in numbers. The prime minister said everyone believing in democracy and democratic values should have collectively condemned what had happened.

The prime minister has asked BJP members to maintain restrain and follow democratic norms. With INDIA bloc parties meeting on Tuesday to formulate their strategy against the BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Modi said their goal is throw out his government but his government's goal is to ensure a bright future for the country. He also advised BJP MPs to visit border villages after the session.

Talking about PM's concerns, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "...PM Modi said that today is the last Tuesday meeting of 2023 for the Parliament. Around 2.5 blocks in the Hall are filled with BJP MPs, by 2024 the entire block will be filled with BJP MPs...The objective of I.N.D.I.A alliance is to oust PM Modi's government from power but our objective is to brighten the future of the country..."

What PM Modi said

According to sources, PM Modi said, "Whatever happened in Parliament recently, those who believe in democracy will not accept such an act. This act should have been condemned. However unfortunately what I have been witnessing is that the Opposition is letting out its frustration of losing in the election and giving political spin to the entire act. They are even giving muted and indirect support to their act and this is worrisome. The act of opposition of giving support to the act and saying things like what else they could have done is worrisome and condemnable. The act of opposition clearly indicates that Opposition has made its mind to be in opposition and they are practising for the same."

"The nation has also made up its mind to keep them in opposition and will perhaps push them even more behind from where they currently stand. We should expose opposition keeping in mind to keep our voice under control and stay within limits of democracy. In the coming days, no matter whether others are participating or not, we must participate in the parliament. Some of the Bills which are to be taken up are of great importance. We should listen to discussion on them. It would have been good if the opposition would have participated in debates on them. But perhaps good deeds are not in their fortune."
