He repeatedly urged the opposition MPs to help in conducting the meeting smoothly as they continued impeding the meeting amidst sloganeering. The Speaker urged the opposition party for cooperation in the smooth operation of the meeting and finding an outlet to all problems only through dialogue, saying the rights of the rest of the lawmakers would be stifled through the regular obstruction of the House.
