Delhi HC has asked Centre to explain its stand on petition
With the Delhi High Court asking the Central government on Wednesday to explain its stand on a petition that claimed keeping the post of Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha vacant is a violation of Article 93 of the Constitution, the issue is once again in the spotlight. Petitioner Pawan Reley pointed out that the position had been vacant for the last 830 days. Congress’s floor leader in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, “It is a constitutional mandated position and not a ceremonial one. During each session, the Congress has demanded that the election to the post be held, but our demands have been ignored”.More Related News
