Mola must be feared on the floor of the house.
They cannot be made subordinates to the government, “he added.
By stating that legislators represent political parties and political ideologies, Kumar tried to find out how the welfare of students could be entrusted to political political parties and political ideology.” The establishment of such a committee itself is a blow of death for our democracy and doctrine of power separation.
Don’t let the committee handle the welfare of students and check it out of the classroom, “said the senior advisor.
