Consider the following statements: 1. 1. While members of the Rajya Sabha are associated with Committees on Public Accounts and Public Undertakings, Members of Committee on Estimates are drawn entirely from Lok Sabha. 2. 2. The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs works under the overall direction of Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs. 3. 3. The Minister of Parliamentary Affairs nominates members of Parliament on Committees, Councils, Boards and Commissions etc. set up by the Government of India in the various ministries. Which of these statements are correct?

1 Statement 1 is correct. Members of the Rajya Sabha are associated with the Committee on Public Accounts (PAC) and the Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU) (7 members from Rajya Sabha in each). However, the Committee on Estimates consists of 30 members who are all drawn entirely from the Lok Sabha. 2 Statement 2 is correct. The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs functions under the overall direction of the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, which handles government business in Parliament. 3 Statement 3 is incorrect. The Minister of Parliamentary Affairs facilitates the process, but the actual nomination of members of Parliament to various parliamentary Committees, Councils, Boards, and Commissions set up by the Government of India follows specific rules and procedures, often involving the Presiding Officers (Speaker/Chairman) or the respective ministries, not solely nomination by the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs.
