Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, September 18, interacted with the media, as is customary at the start of a Parliament session. Alluding to the session, Modi said that although it is short in duration, it will be marked by several historic decisions.
This session of Parliament may be short, but it is historic in scope, the prime minister said. One of the specialities of the session Modi pointed at was the discussion on India's 75-year-old journey as they move to the new Parliament building.

list of matters remains tentative. Without naming them, Modi took a jab at the Opposition which initially condemned the session for its lack of transparency but has ultimately decided to join and raise important concerns.
"Rone dhone ke liye bahut samay hota hai, karte rahiye," PM Modi indirectly told them.
Speaking ahead of the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, PM Modi said Lord Ganesha, who is also called "Vighnaharta," will ensure that there is no "vighna" or hurdle in India's development as the government.
The prime minister began his speech by citing India's successful lunar mission of landing the Chandrayaan-3 on the moon and the G20 Summit, which ended on September 10.
Touching upon the landing points, Modi said, "Shiv Shakti point is a new source of inspiration and Tiranga point is making us proud."
The Shiv Shakti point is the landing site of Chandrayaan-3, the third lunar mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The Tiranga Point is a location on the Moon near the lunar south pole where Chandrayaan-2's lander Vikram crashed.
