Japanese term or phrase: に振る

This is from a newspaper article reporting a meeting of the Central Social Insurance Medical Council (中医協).

遠藤会長が「...中医協で議論していくのかどうか」と委員に振った...

I'm not sure if this has the force of 'took a swipe at' or 'rebuked' or if it is something more neutral.

Notes to answerer

Asker: A guess?! I assumed this would be obvious to a native speaker!

58 mins confidence:

seek, enlist, solicit, urge [opinion] of someone

Explanation:
この場合の「振る」は、相手の意見を「仰ぐ」というような意味合いに使われていると思います。It's like asking the opponent urging him to reply now that the ball is in your court.
