RS MP wants telecast stopped, only LS to continue

May 13, 2012 15:08

A Rajya Sabha MP wants the telecast from the Upper House to be stopped in favour of only the Lok Sabha. Congress MP Rajiv Shukla asks the MP what is the logic behind this "strange request." "Don't forget that the country is watching the proceedings and has noted that you don't want the RS proceedings to be telecast. If Lok Sabha can work, why can't Rajya Sabha? I have nothing more to say."

The chair, Prof PJ Kurien, says both telecasts will continue and admonishes the member saying Rajya Sabha cannot be secondary to the Lok Sabha.
