“The weather is pleasant at the moment. We believe that in such a pleasant atmosphere, the discussion in the Parliament would be fruitful. I think this session of Parliament will work in a peaceful manner. There was a unanimous consensus in the all-party meeting that the Budget Session should be constructive. We are very hopeful that this session would go without many disruptions,” he added.
