The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) wants its proceedings to be opened to the media and has moved the Lok Sabha Speaker in this regard.
PAC chairman K V Thomas said here the main committee has approved the suggestions made by one of its sub-committees to allow media watch proceedings like they do in the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.
A meeting of the chairpersons of Public Accounts Committees of the Commonwealth countries had noted that the media has a crucial role in reporting the work of the PAC to the public.
The recommendations are now with the Speaker pending a final decision.
