In his remarks to the media ahead of the five-day session, PM Modi highlighted India's Chandrayaan-3 mission, the "unprecedented" success of its G20 presidency, the launch of 'PM Vishwakarma Mission' and inauguration of convention centre Yashobhoomi, asserting that many developments which have inspired the country and filled it with pride have taken place

There is an atmosphere of festivity and enthusiasm, and the country has been filled with renewed self-confidence, he said, asking parliamentarians to give maximum time to the short session

In an apparent reference to frequent protests by opposition members during previous sessions, often leading to disruptions of proceedings, Modi hoped everyone will shed shortcomings and carry the goodness as they move into the new building of Parliament on Ganesh Chaturthi on Tuesday

The Parliament session began on Monday and will end on Friday

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Monday said there has been apprehensions in people's minds about the country being run through "one party dictatorship", attempts to destabilise opposition party-ruled states and the "selective" use of central agencies
