Some people usurp their rights and they do not even get the opportunity to speak in the House," PM Modi said.
"Those rejected 80-90 times by people do not allow discussions to take place in the Parliament. They neither respect the spirit of democracy nor do they understand the importance of people's aspirations. They have no responsibility towards them. They are unable to understand them and the result is that they never live up to people's expectations."
