Congress leader asked for deferment of meeting of High Powered Committee
The conduct of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has been “obnoxious” during the selection process of a new CBI director and the meeting of the selection panel should be deferred, Congress leader in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said in a dissent note that was submitted to the high-powered selection committee headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Objecting to the manner in which DoPT the nodal ministry for all important positions in the Central institutions had shortlisted 16 names out of a list of 109 Indian Police Service (IPS) officers at the ‘eleventh hour,’ Mr. Chowdhury batted for cancelling the Monday meeting.
