Delhi Confidential: Chance Meeting
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a five-nation tour, presented a replica of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, water from Saryu river as well as from the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj to his Trinidad & Tobago counterpart Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Friday. A day earlier, during his Ghana visit, he gifted a specially handcrafted pair of Bidriware flower vases from Karnataka to President John Mahama and a silver filigree purse from Cuttack to his spouse Lordina Mahama. The Ghana Vice President, Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, received a Pashmina shawl from Kashmir.
The one-year term of the Lok Sabha House Committee headed by BJP MP Mahesh Sharma ended on Thursday. The panel of 12 MPs advises on residential allotment and guest accommodation for MPs. Neither a new panel has been constituted nor any extension given to the existing one. This may cause disarray ahead of the upcoming Parliament session this month. Also, 184 flats being constructed for parliamentarians at BKS Marg are likely to be ready by this month-end. The inauguration ceremony is proposed to be held in the first week of August.
