New Delhi, Nov 13: Member Parliamentary Joint Committee headed by BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi has been constituted to review the three Bills that seek to remove Ministers of Union and State governments, including Prime Minister and Chief Ministers facing serious criminal charges.
The INDIA bloc decided to boycott the committee.
The Opposition has argued that the intent of the proposed legislation is malafide and that it is futile to participate in a panel where the BJP will be in a majority.
The Opposition has also cited the example of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Bofors case in 1987, which was boycotted by six major Opposition parties.
