Re: [HumJanenge] Request telecasting of proceedings of Standing Committee on Jan Lokpal Bill

I fully agree with the view expressed by Sri Singhal that the proceedings of the Standing Committee be televiesed so that the public may be aware of the views expressed by the members of the Committee.

Dear All,

In the interest of transparency and accountbility, govt had decided to telecast proceedings of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and started even seperate TV channels for the purpose. Standing Committees formed by Parliament are said to be mini parliaments to review in details the various bills referred to them before being passed by the parliament. Their proceedings are therefore as important for the people as the proceedings of the parliament itself. I do not know why are the proceedings of Standing Committees not being televised.

I suggest that people's pressure should be built up on the govt to start televising the proceedings of all Standing Committees to enable us, the people, to know the views of the various members/parties on various bills being considered by them. 

The proceedings of the Standing Committee currently considering Jan Lokpal Bill must start being televised immediately. Your reactions and appropriate action at your end is requested.
