The National Democratic Alliance on Monday said it will allow the Parliament to function if formation of Joint Parliamentary Committee to probe the 2G spectrum allocation scam is announced by the government on Tuesday, but would continue to raise irregularities in the Commonwealth Games-related projects and Adarsh Housing scam.

NDA leaders, who met at the residence of Bharatiya Janata Party leader L K Advani in New Delhi to chalk out the floor strategy for the Budget session, decided that they will allow both Houses to run smoothly after Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh announces the setting up of a Joint Parliamentary Committee to probe the 2G spectrum allocation scam.

"There is a possibility that the government will announce formation of JPC in Parliament on Tuesday. Once that is done, we will allow the House to function smoothly. We will participate in the parliamentary business with all seriousness," NDA convenor Sharad Yadav told mediapersons after the meeting.

He said the JPC into 2G spectrum allocation was not the only issue and the NDA, along with other opposition parties, would raise other issues during the session.

"The issue of irregularities in CWG and the Adarsh Housing Society scam will be raised. Allotment of fertile land for development projects is another issue. The NDA had raised the issue of price raise but the government did not respond," the Janata Dal-United leader said.

He said the issues identified by NDA to be raised during the Budget session were referred to by the President in her address to both Houses of Parliament.

"It is sad that the issues were merely raised and no solution was suggested. We have today decided to raise these issues for the benefit of the common man through constructive debates," he said.
