“The government is prepared to discuss all issues which the opposition may want to discuss... We have some very important legislations are which will be introduced in this session... There are pressing demands to convert those Bills into Acts of Parliament,” Singh told reporters outside Parliament.
The PM’s remarks came as the NDA-Left combine is set to move adjournment motions over black money and price rise.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal has already ruled out admitting the adjournment motions.
Calling on the opposition to give development agenda a push, the PM said “the global economy was facing serious difficulties and if we don’t manage our house well, we can also go down”.
On the issue of a planned boycott of Home Minister P Chidambaram by the opposition over his role in the 2G scam, the PM said “there was no case for such type of boycott” and added, “I hope political parties resist any such temptation.”
Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanswamy also defended Chidambaram, saying the Home Minister has done no wrong and that he is not involved in the 2G scam.
The notice for the motion in the Lok Sabha will be given by Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Gurdas Dasgupta and is likely to be backed by the National Democatic Alliance (NDA) and other opposition parties, a Left leader had earlier said.
The Left parties are also trying to get the backing of parties like the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) that support the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, he added.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj had said that her party would raise the issues of price rise, corruption and black money in the session.
Meanwhile, MPs from Telangana region are planning to raise the issue of separate statehood for the region, sources said.
