◾RULE - If there is 'Let' in the reported speech,our first task is to identify whether it's a proposal,suggestion,request or order.Our second task is to use the verb accordingly.

If we take a close look at the question given above ,we will find that it's a proposal so the verb 'proposed' has been used in indirect speech.
