SEBI Chairperson Skips PAC Meeting

Madhabi Puri Buch, the chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), failed to appear before the KC Venugopal-led Public Accounts Committee (PAC) citing personal reasons. The committee was adjourned following her absence. The BJP members who had earlier questioned Venugopal’s decision to summon her, met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to register their protest.
