PM Modi launches Sansad TV, calls it an essential chapter in parliamentary system

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently launched a new channel called Sansad TV, which will be dedicated to the coverage of parliamentary proceedings in both houses.

The channel was launched on the occasion of International Day of Democracy (September 15). Sansad TV has been created after merging Lok Sabha TV and Rajya Sabha TV.

PM Modi said the launch of the channel adds another important chapter to the parliamentary system. Parliament is not only about politics, but it is about policy too. It is more about policy. Democracy is a constitutional structure for the people of India and spirit as well, he said.
