2. Parliamentary Committees conduct their business primarily in Hindi or English, as per the general practice for parliamentary proceedings.
3. Consequently, the official minutes and records of the Parliamentary Committees are also prepared in both Hindi and English.
Members can speak in mother tongue with permission; Committee business and minutes are in Hindi or English.
