Finally, there seems to be some sort of a breakthrough at the Speaker's all-party meet held just now. The Finance Bill will be taken up and passed tomorrow.

While the BJP has been demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and Law Minister over the CBI's report on the coal block allocation scandal being shown to bureaucrats before it was submitted to the court, opposition parties have been targeting the government over many other issues.

The all-party meet comes even as the Finance Bill and other legislations are pending for disposal by the Lower House of Parliament. While the Lower House has not been able to function since the House reconvened on 22 April, the Upper House has managed to function only one day in which security of women was discussed in light of the Delhi rape case in which a five-year-old was raped.
