NEW DELHI: Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge again boycotted the Lokpal Selection Committee meeting Wednesday, the sixth time he has done so this year on the pretext that he is not made a full-fledged member in the panel.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he conveyed his decision of boycotting the panel meeting held this evening.
The selection committee will set up a search panel for recommending names for the appointment of the anti-graft ombudsman, the Lokpal, and its members.
“It is distressing that the Government continues to invite me as a special invitee to the selection committee meeting despite being aware of the fact that there is no provision under section 4 of the Lokpal Act, 2013,” he wrote to the Prime Minister. (AGENCIES)
