Question

why are committees known as mini leguslatures​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Lok Sabha website describes a parliamentary committee as a “committee which is appointed or elected by the House or nominated by the Speaker and which works under the direction of the Speaker and presents its report to the House or to the Speaker and the Secretariat”.

These committees are essentially miniature Parliaments in themselves, usually comprising members across party lines from both the Houses. Broadly, they are classified into two categories — standing committees and ad hoc committees.
