Adjourned the standing committee meet
TOP BUREAUCRATS FOR ABSENCE
By R Rajagopalan
M Venkaiah Naidu the senior BJP leader on Friday shot off
a strongly worded communication to Chairman Rajya Sabha
Hameed Ansari complainig against Foreign
Secretary Nirupama Rao, Commerce Secretary Rahul Kullar
and top intelligence officials abstaining from Standing Committee
meeting of Home Ministry. Today's meeting was to have discussed
clause by clause a bill on Land and Port Authority.
Venkaiah Naidu was upset when he learnt that the Foreign Secretary
Nirupama Rao was deputing a joint secretary to reply to the question
by the Members about the bill. She was present in Delhi and avoided
appearance. similarly commerce secretary Rahul Khullar. He is unwell
but deputed a joint secretary. Naidu understood that Rahul Khullar
being unwell, was in office. such attitude towards the parliament
committees were to be taken seriously, and these officers to be
admonished for their casual treatment towards committees.
