He shared innovative ideas on how our presence in Rajya Sabha can become meaningful through regular attendance, curiosity, study, active participation in committees and restraint in language,” Poonia said after the meeting.The BJP Haryana in charge also said that PM Modi stressed the need for MPs to use “MP Sports Competition” to engage the youth and wean them off addiction.Sahney said the PM drew from his own life and experience and offered valuable guidance on how seriously the MPs should take Parliament.”He emphasized that Parliament must function smoothly, and encouraged MPs to spend at least one or two hours each day in the Parliament Library. He also encouraged MPs to engage with the youth and actively implement MP Sports Scheme in their respective constituencies,” said Sahney.
