New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday expressed hope that the Budget session of Parliament beginning on Monday will be “peaceful" and “productive" and said the government was willing to discuss all issues which the opposition raises.
“I am looking forward to a fruitful and productive session of Parliament. The government on its part is ready to discuss any issue which may be brought by the opposition," Singh said after emerging from an all-party meeting convened by speaker Meira Kumar ahead of the Budget session.
