Venkaiah Lockdown

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Technology, Environment and Climate Change on Friday met for the first time since the lockdown due to COVID-19 was enforced on March 25, with Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu expressing happiness over the development.

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said home confinement of people in order to cope with the rising COVID-19 cases was legitimate, but the Emergency in 1975 was "illegitimate" as people were deprived of all fundamental rights.

With the Union Home Ministry initiating more relaxations in the nationwide lockdown from June 8, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday urged people to exercise utmost caution as the society seeks to rebound from the disruption caused by the coronavirus.

A decision on holding meetings of the parliamentary standing committees would be taken after May 17, when the third phase of the lockdown ends, Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu said Monday as he held the first meeting with senior officials of the Secretariat since the lockdown began on March 25.

The Vice President, who is the President of IIPA and Chancellor of three Universities, urged the institutions to reach out to students, promote collaborative learning and self-learning.

People must abide by any decision on the coronavirus lockdown "even if the hardship continues beyond April 14", Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu said today, amid calls for extending the restrictions from states like Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and Assam.

Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu has put on hold the oath-taking of 37 newly-elected members till the lockdown is over, according to an advisory.
