Mahtab, Tharoor to Lead Key Parliament Panels

In a significant reshuffle of parliamentary standing committees, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader B Mahtab has been appointed as the new chairman of the Finance Committee, while Congress MP Shashi Tharoor will head the Foreign Affairs Committee. The move reflects a balanced allocation of key committee leadership positions across party lines.

Mahtab, a seasoned parliamentarian, is known for his deep understanding of economic matters and has served in various key roles over the years. His leadership of the Finance Committee is expected to bring strong oversight on matters related to public finance, taxation, and economic reforms.

On the other hand, Tharoor, known for his international diplomacy and expertise in foreign affairs, is poised to bring his vast experience to the Foreign Affairs Committee. His tenure is likely to focus on India’s evolving role on the global stage, strategic relations, and foreign policy challenges.

This cross-party allocation of committee leadership indicates a commitment to collaborative governance and the importance of these committees in shaping India’s financial and foreign policies. Both leaders have expressed their readiness to take on their respective roles and contribute to the effective functioning of parliamentary democracy.

The reshuffle also comes at a time when both committees are expected to tackle pressing issues, including economic recovery, international diplomacy, and trade partnerships.
