The Coordination Committee of the United Progressive Alliance meeting on Food Security Bill and its passage in Parliament is in progress.

UPA is seeking the views of it allies on the issue. The government is also seeking cooperation of all political parties in the passage of the important legislation.

Seeking consensus, the government plans to convene an all-party meeting to discuss the Food security Bill.

Options including convening of a special session of parliament to pass the Food Security Bill or to go for an ordinance is also being explored.

After the return of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from his two nation trip to Japan and Thailand, the Congress Core committee had met at Dr. Singh's residence to discuss the Food security bill and other important issues.

Meanwhile, the BJP has said, it is not opposed to the passage of the Food Security Bill and favoured an early monsoon session of Parliament.

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj twitted that, the government's reported move to promulgate an ordinance is not desirable for such an important legislation.

She, however, made it clear that her party is not opposed to a special session and suggested that early convening of the monsoon session would be a better option.

In the Budget session of parliament, owing to frequent adjournments some important bills, including the Food Security Bill, could not be passed as the session ended two days ahead of its scheduled conclusion.
