Parliament logjam: No breakthrough in all-party meeting

New Delhi, Aug 3: An all-party meeting called by the Narendra Modi government on Monday failed to break the parliamentary logjam, with the Congress and the NDA government reiterating their stated positions on resignations over Lalit Modi and Vyapam issues. While the Congress demanded the resignations of Sushma Swaraj and chief ministers of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, the government ruled out any resignations. The monsoon session, which began on July 21, has been washed out till date over the opposition demand for the resignations of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and the chief ministers of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh over the former IPL chief Lalit Modi and Vyapam issues. Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said the all-party meeting was convened to break the logjam, but the Congress continued to stick to its demand for the resignations.
