New Delhi: Government is not willing to accept majority of recommendations related to the hike in salary and allowances of MPs and pension of ex-MPs made by a Parliamentary panel. Sources said the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry in its comments (Action Taken Report) sent to the panel headed by BJP MP Yogi Adityanath on June 24 made it clear that it won't be able to consider a number of recommendations made by the panel, while it decided to send some others to concerned ministries to take an 'appropriate' view.
Representatives of the Ministry, who appeared before the panel on June 25, also told the panel members that a large number of their recommendations like increasing MPs' Daily Allowance from Rs 2000 to Rs 5000, increasing the number of their air travel from 34 to 48, allowing free air travel to ex MPs, extending health care facilities to their married children and grandchildren, could not considered, the sources said.
The panel is likely to submit its report after a meeting on July 13.The panel had pitched for 100 per cent hike in salary, constituency allowance and office allowance to MPs and around 75 per cent raise in pension of ex-MPs apart from facilities for their "companions" in place of "spouses".
