Budget will be presented, obituary may happen before or after it. The government has spoken to all parties and arrived at consensus, ANI said via a tweet quoting government sources.
Uncertainty over the Budget presentation persisted as many speculated that it would be deferred by a day owing to the demise of former Union minister E Ahamed.
While there were some who demanded that Lok Sabha be adjourned as is traditionally done when a MP dies, many said that for once in this case, convention should be followed.
