Zee News appeals to remove Naveen Jindal from the Standing Committee of Home Affairs

Zee News has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar, urging her to remove MP Naveen Jindal from the Standing committee of Home Affairs. 

Pointing to the ongoing court case between Jindal, his company JSPL and Zee News Ltd, the letter from Zee News Ltd has alleged that the MP has been misusing his position as a member of the standing committee of home affairs to put pressure on the Delhi police which is investigating the case. Since the Delhi police reports to the Union ministry of home affairs, the probe cannot be termed balanced and unbiased. 

The letter also points out that Jindal’s position as a member of the standing committee is a clear violation of the provisions of the Constitution and practices followed by Parliament. It adds that Jindal’s influence indicates a conflict of interest because of which the Delhi Police investigation is one-sided and is ensuring that it ignores the various statements and representations made by Zee News Ltd in the matter.
