The functioning in Parliament continued to be hit for the 12th working day over the opposition demand for a JPC probe into the 2G spectrum scam. With no breakthrough yet in sight to resolve the impasse, today also both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned, first till noon and later for the day following pandemonium over the issue. AIR Correspondent says, like the last 11 working days, this morning also the scene was no different. The moment the two houses assembled for the day, the opposition members were up on their feet with many of them trooping into the wells of the houses and raising pitch even before the Presiding Officers took their seat. Ruling members were also seen carrying placards on Karnataka Chief Minister, B S Yeddyurappa for his alleged involvement in the land allotment to his family members.AIR Correspondent adds that the two rounds of all party meetings convened by the Leader of the Lok Sabha, Pranab Mukherjee, have failed to resolve the standoff. The government has said that it is ready for a discussion on the issue. It had also offered a multi-disciplinary agency along with the Public Accounts Committee to look into the 2G spectrum issue. However, this has been rejected by the opposition, which wants only a JPC probe.
