| The Opposition will move an adjournment motion on the failure of the government to take stock of its earlier parliament resolution to curb price rise. The opposition's move marks the failure of Lok Sabha Speaker to bring about some kind of consensus before the Winter Session of Parliament.
Earlier in the day the Lok Sabha Speaker had convened an all party meeting to ensure that all sittings are held smoothly in Parliament for the upcoming Winter Session. The Winter Session commences on November 22 and ends on December 21.
The meeting comes in the wake of a disrupted Monsoon Session. Earlier this year the Monsoon Session had failed to transact much official business, despite a heavy government agenda.
This time round Opposition parties are said to be preparing to raise a number of issues triggering apprehension that the session could be tumultuous.
The issues of corruption (particularly the 2G scam), black money and rising prices are expected to put the government on the backfoot.
Apart from these, protests over statehood for Telangana, economic blockade in Manipur and legislations like the Food Security Bill, Land Acquisition Bill, Communal Violence Bill and the government's dealings with Pakistan are also expected to be raised by the Opposition.
Ahead of the session, the government had however, said that it is ready for a thorough discussion on all the issues. "I will earnestly appeal to the Opposition to cooperate with the government in carrying out of the official business," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal said.
Noting that discussion is the essence of democracy, he said, "We must use to the fullest every minute of Parliament time... I see no reason why Parliament should not run smoothly."
Besides the Lokpal Bill, the government is planning to bring in 30 other measures during the month-long session for consideration and passing.
