Opposition MPs demand parliamentary scrutiny of Commerce and External Affairs ministries amid global economic challenges. Over 100 lawmakers from major parties have formally requested the Rajya Sabha Chairman to schedule a discussion on either ministry's functioning, citing the current global situation and energy crisis facing India. This marks a significant push for oversight, as neither ministry has undergone detailed parliamentary discussion in the last 16 years. The letter, signed by leaders from Congress, DMK, TMC, SP, CPI(M), and other parties, emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing these critical ministries responsible for India's trade policy and international relations. During the Budget session, the Rajya Sabha conducts detailed reviews of ministry operations, while the Lok Sabha handles financial oversight.
