She hopes opposition to return to Parliament
“As the Speaker, I’ve already invited opposition to join Parliament. Discussion between the government and the opposition on any issue can be held in Parliament,” she said.

During the meeting, the Speaker recalled the contributions and the support of India and its people during the Liberation War in 1971.
