'Sittings enough if Oppn allows House to work without disruptions'

How would you describe your first-year experience?

The year has brought an enriching experience for me. The party entrusted me to start the debate by thanksgiving motion. I spoke on the budget, all important debates, be it triple talaq or constitutional debate. Iam part of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) of ‘One Nation, One Election’. I was also part of the MPs delegation that went on the four-nation tour post Operation Sindoor. The party has given me enough work. I was made a star campaigner by the party.

What was the high point of the year for you personally and your party in the House?
