Kalyan Banerjee asks a Supplementary Question on fast-track courts
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Madam, as per the annexure that has been given to us you, will find from the chart that as far as creations of fast-track courts is concerned, Uttar Pradesh is number one with 183 courts. Second is Maharashtra (100) and third position belongs to Bengal with 77 courts. What is the number of such courts in Gujarat? ZERO.
So far the recommendation of 14th Finance Commission is concerned, despite being in third spot, no amount has been recommended for Bengal? Gujarat which has zero fast-track courts has been recommended an amount of Rs 400.59 crore.
My question, therefore, to the Hon. Minister is why such a discriminative attitude has been taken by the Finance Commission? Why only the State of Gujarat is being favoured? Is it because the Hon. Prime Minister belongs to Gujarat?
