Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla is set to meet Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee on June 19 as part of the ongoing proceedings related to the split within the party. The hearing comes after 20 rebel TMC MPs sought recognition as a separate parliamentary group following their merger with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI).
Raghav Chadha has been appointed as the new chairman of the Committee on Petitions of the Rajya Sabha after the parliamentary panel was reconstituted. The appointment was announced through a notification issued by the Rajya Sabha Secretariat.
