"There is no question of adjourning Parliament sine die," Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Harish Rawat [ Images ] told the media in New Delhi [ Images ].
He said the government was making all efforts to end the logjam on the issue of the CAG report on coal block allocation and accused the Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] of continuously disrupting the House where issues concerning the common man should be discussed.
In a bid to reach out to non-National Democratic Alliance partners like the Janata Dal-United, which had expressed reservations over the continuous disruption of proceedings, Rawat said senior Parliamentarians like Sharad Yadav could not support BJP's "destructive" politics. "Sharad Yadav is a senior leader who believes in supremacy of the parliamentary democracy. He cannot support BJP's destructive politics," Rawat said.
His statement came after BJP's vociferous demand for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's [ Images ] resignation holding him responsible for delayed coal block auctions.
On Monday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal [ Images ] had also scoffed at suggestions that the monsoon session will be adjourned sine die prematurely due to the persisting deadlock. The monsoon session is scheduled to end on September 7.
