Explanation:

Union Minister Piyush Goyal stated in Rajya Sabha that services rendered by Parliamentarians, doctors, and para-medics fall under Essential Services category. Functioning of Parliament after invoking the Epidemics Act and notification restricting the movement of people above sixty-five years in the wake of Coronavirus does not violate any provision of the law. This was stated by Union Minister Piyush Goyal in Rajya Sabha. His remarks came in the wake of query raised by Anand Sharma of the Congress who said, most of the Parliamentarians above the age of sixty-five fall under the ambit of the notification. He questioned as to how the government could circumvent the provisions of the notification.
