They said during the study tour of the JPC on January 21 at Lucknow, a prayer was made to adjourn the sitting to January 30 (full day) and January 31 after the Presidential Address in Parliament, since it would not be practically possible to get back to Delhi again after the dispersal of JPC on 21st and collect the materials /evidences for discussion.Since there was no response from the chairman, A Raja wrote on behalf of opposition MPs on January 22 requesting for postponement of JPC to January 30 and 31 instead of January 24 and 25.The chairman maintained total silence on their request, they alleged, adding that they also urged him that depositions/evidence collected in tour programme from stakeholders should be circulated to members.”For the reasons best known to him our reasonable prayer for postponement of the sitting of the JPC on 24th and 25th January 2025 has been ruthlessly ignored by the Chairman,” the letter stated.Raja later told reporters that the chairperson gave an interview that on January 25 they will do clause by clause consideration of the bill and draft report will be placed before the JPC on January 29.”Where is the procedure? Proceedings are being conducted with unilateral decision and administrative atrocity coupled with a ruthless manner by the chairman,” he alleged.
