Move afoot to further hike MPs’ salaries

Opposition sources said government has indicated it would bridge the Rs 30,000 gap between the proposed hike and the demand of RJD,SP,Shiv Sena and Akali Dal to increase it to Rs 80,001,as suggested by a Joint Parliamentary Committee.

“This would be done by further increasing the proposed salary from Rs 50,000 and the rest would be adjusted in allowances given to MPs,” an opposition leader claimed.
