A motion moved by JPC Chairman P.C. Chacko to appoint new members was passed in Lok Sabha by a voice vote amid din.
Bhakta Charan Das, who represents Kalahandi Constituency in Lok Sabha, is a mass leader and always raises his voice to curb corruption in India. He certainly got the fitting post by the Parliament.
