Parliament took measures to protect citizens of all sections of the country.

Along with this, new labor laws have been made for the welfare and social security of workers in the unorganized sector.

 

Various parliamentary committees give suggestions regarding many schemes.

He said that we have established the priority of justice by replacing the Indian Penal Code with the Indian Justice Code. He said that various committees of Parliament, often called mini-Parliaments, complement the efforts of Parliament and the Government.
