Posted on 23rd May 2020 12:28 pm by rohit kumar

New Delhi: Due to Coronavirus epidemic, lockdown has been going on in the entire country for almost two months. Due to this, meetings of parliamentary committees could not be held. Several MPs of opposition parties and chairpersons of parliamentary committees demanded a virtual meeting. Opposition leaders Shashi Tharoor, Jairam Ramesh, Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary and many other MPs had demanded virtual meetings.

 

But there was a danger of leaking reports or processing of parliamentary committees considered to be highly confidential through virtual means. Therefore, no decision could be taken on this. Now that many concessions have been made in lockdown, even aviation services are going to start.

 

In view of this, according to sources, parliamentary committees are likely to have meetings from June 1. It is being told that the possibility of having virtual meetings of parliamentary committees is less. But with the start of aviation service, it is believed that members can come to Delhi to attend meetings.

 

A third meeting is to be held on Saturday on the same issue between Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu.

 

Parliamentary committees are considered mini-parliament. Its processing is very confidential. And its report is kept in Parliament. This is the reason that on the demand of leaders of opposition parties, a safe platform was also sought for a virtual meeting of parliamentary committees. But there was disappointment in him.

 

Sources say that there was a danger of leaking sensitive information from unsafe platforms. Now when rail and air services are being restored. In such a situation, there will be no problem in the movement of members of parliamentary committees. Therefore, sources said that their meetings will start from June 1.

 

According to sources, if the situation regarding the corona remains under control, then the monsoon session of Parliament can be done according to its earlier times. That is, the meeting of the monsoon session of Parliament can be called in the third or last week of July.
