What does the petition committee do?

The Petitions Committee is an important committee of the Parliament, which examines the petitions sent by common citizens. This committee considers complaints related to laws, policies and administrative decisions and makes suggestions to the government. Through this, the public can directly convey their problems to the Parliament, which makes it an important link in the democratic system.

On April 24, 7 MPs including Raghav left AAP.

Let us tell you that Raghav Chadha was elected Rajya Sabha MP of Aam Aadmi Party from Punjab. He left the party on 24 April 2026. Simultaneously, more than two-thirds of AAP’s Rajya Sabha MPs left the party and joined BJP. At that time Raghav Chadha had made many serious allegations against the AAP supremo and other leaders. At the same time, AAP leaders also hit back at Raghav and other rebel MPs and said that these people have left the party due to fear of BJP. AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh had made very serious allegations against all the rebel leaders including Raghav.
