"...You must have seen that in the first session of Parliament, an attempt was made to stifle the voice of the government that has been elected with a majority by 140 crore people of the country. For 2.5 hours, an attempt was made to suppress the voice of the Prime Minister. They tried to not let me speak in Parliament in last session. The people of the country have sent us for the country and not for the party. This Parliament is for the country, not for the party," Modi said while addressing customary address at the start of a Parliament session.
