Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday sought the Opposition’s cooperation for a “fruitful and result-oriented” Winter Session of Parliament, but the Trinamool Congress struck discordant notes on the very first day and the Bahujan Samaj Party remained ambiguous on whether it would extend support to the government.

While the Trinamool said it would not allow the passage of the Insurance (Laws) Amendment Bill, 2008, which raises the FDI in insurance, BSP chief Mayawati said her party might not “unnecessarily” oppose the Bill.

Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned after obituary references. In a statement outside Parliament, Mr. Modi said, “People of the country have given us responsibility to run the government, but they have also given MPs the responsibility to run the country.”
