In a recent session, opposition leaders in the Rajya Sabha raised their demand for a debate on the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, indicating these sectors haven't been discussed since 2010, according to inside sources.
The discussion emerged during a Business Advisory Committee meeting held on Wednesday. Here, Members of Parliament emphasized the need for enhanced scrutiny of these ministries beyond the usual budget session procedures, which include financial oversight exercised by the Lok Sabha.
