At the time of appointment, the President should appoint the Chairperson, not members of the commission electing the Chairperson. A basic question is, who will convene the first meeting of the commission? Those are the issues we should consider."

Members of Parliament in this House who are elected on Independent tickets are exposed. There is no framework in this House to protect them. For example, when Members were being appointed to Committees, for Members elected on Independent tickets to survive, they had to associate themselves with political parties."
