Opposition parties seek reprieve for Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury at Lok Sabha panel meet

Lok Sabha privileges committee has called on congress politician Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury to answer criticism of remarks he made about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During the committee meeting, which remains inconclusive, some members of the ruling party called for leniency towards Chowdhury, who was suspended from the lower house of parliament earlier this month following comments he made during a debate about a no-confidence motion.
