A demand was raised in Rajya Sabha to empower its chairman and vice chairman to take decisions on crucial issues like permitting members for foreign visits and allotting rooms to parliamentary parties instead of such issues being dealt by Speaker, LS.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Naresh Agarwal (SP) said, ‘Article 80 and 81 of the Constitution through which RS LS were constituted bestow similar priorities, privileges and responsibilities to members of both the Houses’ but no decisions regarding Upper House members were taken by its chairman and vice chairman. Agarwal said such matters should be disposed of by RS chairman and V-C besides constitution of a Committee for that.
