Congress Leader Jairam Ramesh Demands Clarity in Rajya Sabha Schedule

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh urged the government to clarify the Rajya Sabha's schedule, citing unhealthy media speculation regarding adjournment. He questioned the secrecy and sought explanations from the Leader of the House and the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs about whether the House would adjourn sine die or to a later date.

In the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh demanded clarity from the government concerning the schedule of the House. His call for transparency came amid what he described as 'unhealthy media speculation' surrounding whether the House would be adjourned sine die or to a later date.

Ramesh specifically requested an explanation from Leader of the House J P Nadda and the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs. He emphasized the need for a clear communication to maintain the health of India's democratic processes.

Responding to the demand for clarity, Nadda simply assured that 'the government will get back to you,' leaving the inquiry unresolved. Ramesh criticized the secrecy surrounding the House's schedule and emphasized that transparency should be ensured at least in the Rajya Sabha.
