New Delhi: Miffed over political parties not nominating members for various Standing Committees, Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu on Friday appealed to all the parties to send the names for the House panels at the earliest.
"I am sorry to say, in spite of the reminder now, some of the parties are yet to give names. I don't want to name parties. It's not my purpose also. I appeal to all political parties to give names at the earliest so that we can set up Standing Committees at the earliest," the Chairman said.
His response came after TMC leader Derek O'Brien said that many bills are being not properly scrutinized by the Standing Committees and the government was bringing more and more bills for approval.
The Member said that government has now listed nine more bills in its list of business for the next week but most of them have not been reviewed by the Standing Committee.
"The Standing Committees have not been formed. Every one of those bills (listed by the government for the upcoming week) except the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, none of them have been scrutinized," O'Brien said. (IANS)
