SYDNEY, Oct 4: State Legislative Assembly Speaker P D Sona who is currently on a post Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference tour of New Zealand and Australia, on Friday visited the Parliament of New South Wales here.
Sona, accompanied by the Consul General of the Indian High Commission to the Parliament called on the President of the Legislative Council of New South Wales, John Ajaka who guided the Indian delegation around the entire Parliament and both the Houses. During interaction they discussed the functioning of the Houses which is Bicameral in structure and other outreach programmes conducted. “The outreach programmes are largely academic and even our Assembly is also working on a module of outreach programme which will give impetus to literary endeavours  and arts. I believe that this will help in honing the talents of our younger generation.” Sona said. “Our Assembly should not be a mere centre for legislation, rather, it should become a centre for learning also. We have a good library and a state-of-the-art museum is also coming up which should serve as a research centre for scholars too,” he added.  State Assembly Speaker also extended his invitation to Ajaka to visit Arunachal Pradesh in the month of April 2020 when he will be attending the Executive Committee of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in Assam.
