Chandigarh : The Punjab Congress Legislature Party today urged Vidhan Sabha Speaker Charanjit Singh Atwal to telecast the proceedings of the Assembly live during the current session, which started today and will continue till December 21.
In a representation to the Speaker, Congress Legislature Party Leader Sunil Jakhar said it was important to telecast the proceedings of the Assembly live on the pattern of the Lok Sabha to enable the people of the state to know the public issues being raised by their representatives.
Jakhar also represented to the Speaker that the Congress needed more time to discuss burning issues, including the "complete breakdown" of the law and order situation in the state, "monopolising" of sand and gravel trade allegedly by the Youth Akali Dal, appointment of a Lokpal who was a "SAD sympathiser", border area development scams and anti-urban stance of the SAD.
