Cabinet Committee to take decision on Winter session schedule: Prasad

New Delhi: Amid suggestions that the winter session of Parliament will be a truncated affair, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday said the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs will take a call on the issue. He also reminded National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah that Parliament had passed a resolution that entire Kashmir, including PoK, is part of India and the decision is applicable on members of Parliament. Abdullah is a Lok Sabha member.

At the briefing on the decisions taken by Union Cabinet on Thursday, Prasad was asked whether the winter session will become a 'casualty' of the busy schedule of the prime minster and other ministers who are holding door-to-door campaign ahead of the Gujarat polls.

He said the decision on the schedule of the session will be taken by the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs.
