PATNA: The 10-member delegation of the Bihar Chapter of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), led by state assembly Speaker Vijay Kumar Choudhary , was surprised to know that anybody could become the Speaker of Mauritius National Assembly and the membership of the house is not the necessary qualification for this.The Bihar delegation is on a six-day visit to Mauritius to study the parliamentary system and functioning. The members saw the proceedings of the house on Monday. The team includes Bihar deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi. They would return on November 3.Choudhary said the Mauritian parliamentary system is different from Indian parliamentary system. The proceedings of the Mauritian House begin at 11.30am, while it has a question hour called Prime Minister’s Question Hour, as the PM himself replies to the questions raised in the house.On any urgent notice from the member of the house, the government gives the reply, which resembles the zero-hour in Indian Parliament and state legislature, Choudhary said, adding those who lead the various house committees are called deputy chairman.The Bihar delegation also called on Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth and thanked him for taking a cabinet decision to make Bihar assembly Speaker as the chief guest of the 184th Aprawasi Diwas Samaroh there.Addressing the function, Modi requested the Mauritians to seek their roots in Bihar and also invited them to participate in the Aprawasi Diwas Samaroh being held at Varanasi next year to be inaugurated by their President Anerood Jugnauth.
