Parliament Consultative Committee's need to stop excursions
Every ministry has these meetings. MPs generally travel to a different city, stay in 5 or 7 star hotels (15000+ a night) for multiple nights, get all kinds of gifts and most of the expenses are bourne by the Public Sector Undertakings of our country and indirectly the tax payers.
I propose that all parliamentary consultative committee meetings are held locally in places like Govt bhavans and the most that should be offered is coffee/tea, snacks, lunch dinner. No goodies, gifts and no 5 and 7 star stays and high end rental cars. Obviously we will save big on air travel and first ac costs too. more
