    New Delhi: The summoning of one-day session of the Delhi Assembly on Monday, a day after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s questioning by the CBI in the alleged liquor policy scam, has emerged as the new flashpoint between the AAP government and Lt Governor V.K. Saxena, who said that he failed to understand under which circumstances and which provision had the decision being taken.

    In response to the Lt Governor’s criticism, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj cited the rules on “Adjournment of the House and procedure for reconvening”.

    “Let me enlighten LG saab – Under Rule 17 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Delhi Assembly, Honble Speaker has the power to call a sitting of the House ‘at any time after the House has been adjourned sine-die’”.

    “However as per prevailing parliamentary practice the Speaker convenes only on the recommendation of the Cabinet. The House has not been prorogued and prorogation can be done only on the recommendation of the Cabinet,” he said in a series of tweets.

    The Lt Governor had claimed that the proper procedure was not followed in calling the session, and questioned the need for summoning the House again.

    “I fail to understand as to under what circumstances and under which provision of the GNCTD Act 1991 the Second Part of the Fourth Session (Budget Session) of the Seventh Legislative Assembly has been convened instead of moving a proposal for Prorogation of the Budget Session and convening of the ‘One Day Session’ as per the Cabinet Decision,” he said.

    In further criticism, Saxena said that the special session has been recommended by the Delhi Cabinet “without any specified legislative business, which would have allowed the members of the House to come prepared for fruitful deliberations”.

    New Delhi: Congress MPs on Wednesday sought examining of SEBI and RBI chiefs, officials of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and other regulatory bodies by a parliamentary panel on finance to ascertain whether there were any failures on their part on the Adani issue.

    Manish Tewari of the Congress raised the demand during a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance but BJP members opposed it saying the issue was sub-judice.

    Tewari was supported by party colleagues Gaurav Gogoi and Pramod Tiwari, TMC MP Saugata Roy and BJD’s Pinaki Misra and Amar Patnaik during the meeting, sources said.

    They added that BJP MPs Ravi Shankar Prasad, SS Ahluwalia and Sushil Kumar Modi strongly opposed the demand saying the issue is sub-judice as the Supreme Court is looking into the issue and has set up a committee in this regard.

    The sources said Tewari stated that the chiefs of SEBI, RBI and other regulatory agencies were required to be examined to ascertain whether there was any regulatory failure on the Adani group share meltdown on Indian stock markets after the Hindenburg report came out.

    Committee chairman Jayant Sinha asked the Congress members to give in writing their demand, the sources said, adding that the opposition members said this was part of the panel’s work to oversee the regulatory framework.

    When contacted, Sinha said, “Some honourable members brought up a specific matter that is currently being evaluated through the SC expert committee it was agreed let the SC process be concluded.”

    The issue was discussed for over an hour but remained inconclusive.

    The Finance Committee met in Parliament complex to get a briefing by the representatives of Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation on the subject ‘Issues related to MPLAD Scheme’ and for consideration and adoption of draft reports on Demands for Grants (2023-24).
