Douglas demands slot on the committee of selection

Minister Douglas Devananda yesterday claimed that a slot on the committee of selection should be offered to him stating that he was an independent Member of Parliament.

“I contested from my own party and functioned as a separate member and therefore my party should also be given a slot on the committee of selection,” Mr. Devananda said.

The committee of selection was constituted after the House went head with the vote to approve it amidst noisy opposition.
