New Delhi: The deadlock in Parliament over the 2G scam continued for
the 18th straight day on Tuesday, with the opposition remaining adamant on their
demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe. United Progressive Alliance
(UPA) partners like the Trinamool Congress also joined the opposition in demanding
a JPC investigation into the scam. The DMK, another major Congress ally, is also
in favour of a JPC on the issue. As soon as the Lok Sabha met, members of the
BJP, SP, AIADMK and other opposition parties trooped into the well of the house
to, demand a JPC probe. As the din continued, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned the
house till Wednesday. The Rajya Sabha also witnessed similar scenes, forcing Chairman
Hamid Ansari adjourn the house till Wednesday. The Winter Session of Parliament
began on November 9 and has witnessed repeated adjournments over the opposition's
insistence for a JPC probe into the 2G scam, even after A. Raja resigned as Communications
and IT Minister. Ruling members were also seen derailing proceedings in Parliament
over Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa''s alleged involvement in allotting
land allotment to his family members.
