Today's newspaper reports that PM Modi urged the Opposition to cooperate with the Government constructively. Rajnath Singh contacted Mallikarjun Kharge, requesting support for the Speaker.

Rajnath Singh promised to call back Mallikarjun Kharge, but he hasn't done so yet... PM Modi seeks cooperation from the Opposition, yet our leader faces disrespect.
