Will go by rules, vows Harivansh Narayan Singh

After getting elected as the deputy chairman of the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, Harivansh Narayan Singh expressed hope that the House would work in order and differences would be ironed out through constructive debates, consensus and guidance. He also promised to uphold the dignity of the House.  

“By treading on rules and procedures and rules framed by our Constitution makers, we can lead the country to greatness. There would be differences in opinions but I hope, we can find a way out through constructive debates,” said Harivansh. 

In some solace to the opposition, Harivansh quoted Dr Radhakrishnan saying, “We will try to do within our power to justify to the public of this country that a second chamber is essential to prevent hasty legislations.”
