Amid demands by the opposition for convening of a special session of Parliament to pass stringent laws on crime against women, govt said the decision could be taken after Justice Verma Committee submits recommendations.
‘We have appointed the Justice Verma Committee to recommend to the government what changes should be made in the law. Therefore, a special session or a session of Parliament makes sense only when the report is received by the government...So let us first get the report and then we can examine when the session of Parliament should be,’ said P Chidambaram. He also made clear that he was not a potential PM candidate and that he knew his limitations.
