¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of Order.

¶ 02 We are thankful for your observations. As you stated, the Government and the Opposition can decide the composition of Committees through discussion. We respectfully request you to convene all Party Leaders urgently to reach a solution, because some Committees’ functioning has been affected due to non-nomination of Members. It is not satisfactory.
