Bill to amend TRAI Act introduced in Lok Sabha

New Delhi, July 11 (IBNS): Amid ruckus and objections, the government on Friday introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha to clear hurdles in the appointment of former TRAI chairman Nripendra Misra, who joined as principal secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi more than a month back.
A bill to amend Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Act was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
 
The bill replaces an ordinance brought by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, to amend the act which prohibited its chairman and members from taking up any other job in the central or state governments after demitting office.
 
 Slamming the oppositions for objections over the appointment, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday said Modi has the right to choose his staff. 
 
"The Prime Minister has right to choose his staff. This is sheer politics by the opposition and the Congress. Just because they are upset over the leader of opposition post in the Lok Sabha and Income Tax notice, they are doing this," Jaitley told CNN-IBN channel.
