Sadhvi remark: P J Kurien asks Opposition parties, government to end logjam

Kurien adjourned the House for the day at about 3.15 PM after it failed to transact any business for the fourth consecutive day today with an agitated opposition insisting on the sacking of the Minister.

"Leaders of the opposition parties and government should sit together and work out a solution by Monday. The Chair cannot take a decision," Kurien, who was in the Chair, observed.

His observations came after the House witnessed four adjournments before the Chair called it a day as opposition uproar continued over the demand and members insisted on a resolution to condemn the Sadhvi's remarks.

"There is an impasse between the government and the opposition and as long as this issue is not resolved we will not allow the House to run," said Deputy Leader of Opposition Anand Sharma when Kurien pleaded that private members' bill be taken up.
