The Privileges Committee of Lok Sabha decided, on Friday, to ask Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury to appear in its next meeting scheduled for August 30 to present his side of the story. This was the first meeting of the Parliamentary panel on the subject headed by BJP member Sunil Kumar Singh.
According to sources, 10 out of 14 members of the Privileges Committee attended the meeting and four of these members were from the INDIA parties. Mr. Chowdhury was named by Speaker Om Birla for “unruly conduct” on August 11, the last day of the Monsoon session and was suspended from the membership of Lok Sabha, pending a report from the Privileges Committee.
