"content": "There is a lot of logic. You have given an example that one can be a Member of the Departmental Committee of Environment and Natural Resources or Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, but you do not oversee the Cabinet Secretary about the roads in your village. Oversight is not just about things in the village. When the Cabinet Secretary comes before your Committee he or she does not come there to discuss the roads in your constituency only. The Cabinet Secretary appears before the Committee maybe to discuss Bills or Petitions. We cannot deny a Member of a Committee the right to ask a Question to a Cabinet Secretary merely because the Member might…What if the Cabinet Secretary does not see that Member when he appears before the Committee? The only recourse the Member has is to ask a Question so that the Cabinet Secretary who has been avoiding him will now have no option but to appear and face that Member head on before the Committee. I think it is proper."
