August 01, 2013 13:21

An all party-meeting to discuss legislative business in Parliament's Monsoon Session ended a while ago. The meeting saw a fierce debate on the issue of Telangana with BJP demanding a bill be brought on it in this session and some other parties fearing repercussions of the decision in other states.

The meeting also saw a near unanimity among parties on taking corrective measures to ensure that politicians are not barred from contesting polls due to politics of vendetta in the light of a recent court judgement that debars them from fighting elections if they were in jail or in police custody.
