The live telecast of the one-hour question session of the Bihar legislative Council on TV would soon become a reality. CM Nitish Kumar on Thursday said the government has absolutely no problem with it. Like the state assembly, it can be done in the council also, he said.
Nitish, who was present in the council during zero hour, said that there might be some problem on Friday as question hours in both the assembly and the council start at the same time on that day. This could be sorted out, he said.
Earlier, RJD member Badshah Prasad Azad raised the issue regarding the live telecast of council proceedings on the pattern of the assembly.
Acting chairman Arun Kumar said that the proposal regarding the live telecast of the council was rejected earlier. “Now, the proposal has been sent again,” he said. On July 2, raising this point, Mundrika Singh Yadav (RJD) had said that while question hour proceedings of the state assembly was being telecast live on TV channels, the same was not being done in case of the council.
Ghulam Gaus and Ram Bachan Rai (both RJD) supported Yadav for bringing the matter to the notice of the acting chairman of the council. Kumari Jyoti, Congress, too said that equality should be maintained on this front. link

JD(U) leader finds place in Limca Book of Records
Janata Dal (U) leader and a former MLC Ram Karan Pal has made it to the prestigious Limca Book of Record-2009 for creating a “national record” by publishing a book on the original news clippings about him. Pal has brought out a book on original news clippings on himself (in their original form) titled “Dr Ram Karan Pal: Vyaktitva Aur Vichar”. It was published in 2003. Pal is the only man from his shepherd community, an extremely backward caste (EBC) in Bihar, who became a legislator.
“Of the 1,100 copies published in the first edition, all were given out as complimentary copies to museums, libraries, universities, state legislative assemblies etc,” a certificate issued by the Limca Book of records, reads. Pal’s name feature on page nos. 107-08 of the latest edition of the record book which hit the stands across the country recently.
Pal said the recognition has encouraged him further to champion the cause of the downtrodden. “My goal in life is to struggle for the suffering humanity,” he said. Seventy-year-old Pal served as a member of Bihar Legislative Council from 1995 to 1997 and 1998 to 2004 when he was chief whip of the ruling RJD. He was also a member of various boards, councils and commission of various ministries of Central and state government.
Pal started collecting the news clippings published on him in different newspapers and magazines across the country ever since he joined mainstrean politics. In 2003, he got them compiled and published a book which turned out to be only one of its kind in the country. “It was, indeed, a painstaking effort,” Pal said.
During his long political career, Pal was jailed thrice as political prisoner and was member of various committees of Bihar Legislative Council and different political parties. He also served as chairman of Bihar State Hydel Power Corporation from 2003-05. Several leaders, intellectuals and social and cultural organisations have congratulated Pal on his achievement.link
