Coal Scam: Stormy Session Likely in Parliament Again



Asked why BJP was not agreeing to a debate on coal allocation issue, the party maintained it does not bear the required results as discussions had taken place in Parliament on 2G spectrum issue, alleged involvement of then finance minister P Chidambaram in Aircel-Maxis deal and the Commonwealth Games scams but nothing much was done.

The main opposition is also unhappy about the manner in which some of the ruling party members of the Joint Parliamentary Committee are "not allowing" it to work effectively.

Earlier, Parliament's Public Accounts Committee had also faced a lot of opposition from the ruling party members when the body was discussing the CAG report on 2G spectrum.

This has firmed up the opposition resolve to demand PM's resignation in the coal allocation scam, Prasad said.

Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned for the day on Tuesday following uproar over Opposition demand for the Prime Minister's resignation on CAG report on coal block allocation.

The first adjournments till noon took place soon after proceedings began in both the Houses with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Opposition seeking to raise the matter.

In Lok Sabha, trouble over the issue did not die down when the House met after the short adjournment with the Opposition rushing towards Speaker Meira Kumar's podium.
