Interacting with the media after the Pre-budget session all-party meeting, JD (U) leader Harivansh Narayan Singh said that they also raised concern on the outstanding legal cases in court and discussed measure to deal with it.
"We discussed grave issues of the country including the pending issues from education, consumer protection bill, motor vehicle act and other sectors. Our party also raised concern on the cases which are pending in the court for a very long time," Singh said.
"JD (U) also suggested finishing the funds and quota in admissions for Member of Parliaments, to maintain the dignity of the politicians," he added.
