Parliament standing committees await names as TMC drags feet

According to sources, though most of the Opposition parties have forwarded the names of the leaders to head the committees it has been assigned to lead, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) drags its feet on the names, causing further delay of the notification of the panels. An opposition leader, on the condition of anonymity, said that TMC is delaying the process as its Lok Sabha leader Sudhir Bandyopadhyay is away in the US. "All the other parties have forwarded the names of the leaders to head the committees. Though TMC has been offered the chairmanship of the panel on chemicals and fertilizers, they are yet to give the name as their LS leader will be back from the US only on 25th," said the leader.
