The tenth consecutive working day of Parliament was lost amid its stand-off with the Opposition on 2G issue, Government on Thursday said it did not know how to end the impasse but was trying to find a solution."I have not been able to find a solution. I do not know how to resolve this impasse. We are trying. Let us see," Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters in New Delhi.
Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar said her appeal to all parties would be to end the stalemate. "It is my earnest appeal to end the impasse and allow the Houses to function and discuss the issues in Parliament," Kumar said when asked about the possibility of breaking the deadlock as both the government and the Opposition are sticking to their stand on the issue of a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into 2G Spectrum allocation.
CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury met Mukherjee after Parliament adjourned for the day to explore ways to break the impasse which has now given rise to talk of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha adjourning sine-die.He sought to reason out with Mukherjee on the Opposition demand for a JPC pointing out that the Congress too had forced repeated adjournments in the House in the wake of the Tehelka expose during the NDA rule.
