The panel is chaired by Congress's Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor.

According to the sources, the Committee members asked many pointed questions on China and the Dam on the Brahmaputra river.

Secretary Misri informed the committee that there is no agreement between India and China, but there is a water agreement between India and Pakistan.

"So, any issue with China can be discussed on bilaterally only," the sources said.
