Govt. assures Opposition to have discussions on all important issues

The government today assured the Lok Sabha that all important issues raised by the opposition including the IPL and Phone tapping will be discussed. The Leader of House and the Finance Minister, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee said that there will be an opportunity of discussing these matters with leaders of all political parties. <br/><br/>He said government will consider as to what approach it will take and either he or the Prime Minister will get back to the house. Mr Mukherjee made the remarks after the members belonging to AIADMK trooped into the well of the House to press their demand for the resignation of the Telecom Minister, Mr A Raja in connection with the allocation of 2G spectrum. <br/><br/>Mr Yashwant Sinha of the BJP while reiterating the demand of setting up a JPC to go into the IPL controversy wanted the government to respond. The Leader of Opposition, Mrs Sushma Swaraj while assuring the government of full cooperation in getting the Finance Bill passed but wanted the government to respond on their demands. <br/><br/>The issue of allocation of 2G spectrum and phone tapping led to repeated adjournment in both Houses of Parliament and the proceedings of the two Houses were disrupted in the pre lunch session. Earlier, the Speaker Mrs Meira Kumar informed the House that privilege notice against the Prime Minister given by the BJP was under consideration when the issue was raised in the Lok Sabha. The Rajya Sabha Chairman had also received a similar notice which is under his consideration. <br/>
