The BJP today announced a temporary truce with the government on the coal mines and 2G spectrum allocation issues and said it will allow the passage of Finance bills in the Lok Sabha before resuming its agitation in Parliament against the Manmohan Singh dispensation.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath today requested BJP and other political parties to cooperate with the government and ensure passage of the pending Finance Bill, Appropriations Bill, rail budget and the Demands for Grants tomorrow.

In an all-party meeting convened by Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar this morning, Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj acceded to this request to avert a "constitutional crisis" and not block passage of these Bills.
