Par session decision after Verma Committee report: Chidambaram
December 31, 2012 17:44
Amid demands by the opposition for convening of a special session of Parliament to pass stringent laws on crime against women, government today said the decision could be taken after Justice Verma Committee, set up for the purpose, submits its recommendations.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram said here that a special session will make sense after the government receives the report of the three-member committee, headed by Justice J S Verma, former Chief Justice of India.
"We have appointed the Justice Verma Committee to recommend to the government what changes should be made in the law. Therefore, a special session or a session of Parliament makes sense only when the report is received by the government... So let us first get the report and then we can examine when the session of Parliament should be," he said.
