    BJP leaders will head key parliamentary panels, Congress gets Home
  • The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has decided to keep the chairmanship of key parliamentary panels, to itself. The parliamentary panel which will overlook the Home Ministry will be headed by Congress.

    Previously, Congress was also at the helm of parliamentary panels on External Affairs and Finance. But on Friday, the grand old party was ripped off these important panels, prompting it to cry foul.

    What are parliamentary panels? What do they do?
  • Unlike widely believed, MPs don't only work when Parliament is in session. All MPs are part of one or another parliamentary panels or committees.

    The members of these committees discuss every bill which is referred to them. Most of the times, a speaker puts the panels on a deadline.

    The idea was rolled out in 1993, and these panels last for one year.

    In the 16th Lok Sabha, Congress' Shashi Tharoor and Veerappa Moily headed these important panels respectively.

    And now, BJP MP and former union minister Jayant Sinha will head the committee on Finance, and PP Choudhary that of External Affairs.

    Another blow to our democracy, commented Tharoor

  • Expressing displeasure on what happened, Tharoor said, "Apparently a BJP MP will now hold the BJP government accountable instead. One more blow to our soft power image and international reputation as a mature democracy." Meanwhile, BJP cited its strength while staking claim on panels' chairmanship.
