There is no policy to term a person as "national leader", Rajya Sabha was informed today.
In a written question, Congress MP Palavi Govardhan Reddy sought to know from the Home Ministry "who Government considers as national leaders of India" and prescribed benchmarks to consider a leader as national leader.
Responding to the question, Minister of State for Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju said,"Government has not framed any policy in regard to the definition of the term 'national leader'."
As a corollary to it, "Government has not prescribed any benchmarks/parameters for considering any leader as a 'national leader'," he added.
