Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday said that the opposition should refrain from criticism for the sake of it and members of the House should follow the etiquettes and courtesies of legislative procedures.
Members of the opposition should play a constructive and positive role in the interest of the people, he said during the inaugural session of a two-day special orientation programme for legislators at the Punjab Assembly. The event is being jointly organised by the assembly and the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute for Public Administration here.
"Constructive opposition of the government's policies and programmes will help it achieve better results in implementing pro-people initiatives, and members should follow the etiquettes and legislative procedures, traditions, courtesies and conventions for discussions in the House," he said.
