Suresh Kalmadi, A Raja back on parliamentary committees

Politicians A Raja and Suresh Kalmadi may have recently spent about a year in jail each, but both men, who are Lok Sabha MPs, have been nominated to important parliamentary committees.

His party said that it did not nominate him to the Committee on External Affairs; sources say Mr Kalmadi asked to be part of the group, and that the Congress did not object. The decision was made by the Lok Sabha secretariat, which handles the administration of the Lower House. Its officials point out that all serving parliamentarians have the right to serve on such panels.

"This is your party, not mine," said activist Arvind Kejriwal this evening as he launched his as-yet-unnamed political party in Delhi. The party will be christened on November 26, but its founder shared some of its rules today: It will not allow elected representatives to use government accommodation, security, or the lal batti or red beacons that guarantee right of way for vehicles used by MPs. The tenets are lacking in pragmatism: Mr Kejriwal promised, for example, that prices of essential commodities should not be changed without the people's consent. He also said that his team will expose two very powerful people of the country on October 6 at 3 pm.
