Issues of utmost importance must be discussed, say Congress MPs
Chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Technology Jairam Ramesh and IT committee head Shashi Tharoor appealed to both Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla asking them to allow virtual meetings of the parliamentary panels. With the country in midst of a virulent second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, there has been no meeting of the Parliamentary standing for more than a month now. “I am requesting this once again for the umpteenth time. Speaker Lok Sabha @ombirlakota and Chairman Rajya Sabha @MVenkaiahNaidu, please allow virtual meetings of Standing Committees. There are so many issues of utmost public importance that need to be discussed urgently,” Mr. Ramesh wrote in a tweet.More Related News
