Ahead of the Winter Session of the Parliament, government on Wednesday said that it is ready to discuss any matter with the opposition, and appealed all parties to pass GST bill.
After all party meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said, "Government appeals to all parties to pass GST Bill in Winter session of Parliament."
Stating that we need to leave memories of Monsoon session behind and move forward, Naidu added, "Government is aware of Opposition concerns like Dadri."
He also said that 38 legislative items including seven new Bills for introduction will come up in Parliament in Winter session.
Earlier in the day, Naidu said, "We are ready to debate any issue including intolerance."
Meanwhile, Naqvi said that their interaction with other political parties about the upcoming Winter Session had been 'positive' so far.
"There is nothing wrong for an opposition party to have different view on any issue, but the only thing is that it should be constructive. We should not do politics over the questions pertaining to the nation?s development, upliftment of the poor and other such things," Naqvi said.

In the Monsoon Session, Congress-led opposition had disrupted the Monsoon session of the Parliament over the Lalit Modi row and the Vyapam scam.
During nearly month-long session, around 30 bills, including GST and Real Estate regulation Bills, are slated to be taken up for consideration and passing.
On Tuesday, speaking at the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India's (ASSOCHAM) 95th Annual Event here, Finance Minsiter Arun Jaitley had said, "We are reaching out to people (Opposition) who are suggesting changes. We are willing to have discussions with them, and they too need to reconsider some changes they are suggesting".
