The only suriviving member of provisional Parliament absent | | When the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha met on
Sunday to mark the 60 anniversary of the first session of Parliament, TM Kaliannan, surviving member of the provisional Parliament, will not be present. The 91-year-old
Kaliannan is probably the only surviving member of the provisional Parliament.
He was barely 28 years old when he became a member of the House. "After P. Subbarayan
(1889-1962) quit the House on his appointment as the Ambassador of Indonesia [in
December 1949], I became a member (representing Congress),' he recalls, adding
that his membership in the Provisional Parliament was for a short period. The
provisional Parliament functioned until the first general election and formation
of the first Lok Sabha in April-May 1952.
