Congress leader seeks action against Chief Secretaries of six States for skipping PAC hearing
Congress leader and parliamentary panel chair Venugopal urged the Lok Sabha Speaker to sanction the chief secretaries of six states after they failed to appear at a Public Accounts Committee hearing. He argued that their non‑attendance, despite being summoned, violated parliamentary privilege and called for appropriate disciplinary measures. He emphasized that such conduct undermines the accountability function of the committee and should be addressed promptly.
