NFP Leader, Professor Biman Prasad and Government Whip and Assistant Minister for Employment, Alvick Maharaj.

Prasad says Assistant Ministers sit in the Standing Committees all the time.


Government Whip and Assistant Minister for Employment, Alvick Maharaj then said that it is disrespectful and pathetic for the NFP Leader to say that Assistant Ministers are not performing and not doing their job.
