Amid the continuing impasse in Parliament over demonetisation, the government is making hectic efforts to reaches opposition to end parliament deadlock. Even the opposition also seems to be ready to end this stalemate as yesterday’s `Aakrosh Divas’ exposed divisions among their ranks.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh has been trying to reach opposition parties by convening an all-part meet to find out some way out. However, opposition was blindly refusing asking the government to wait till Nov 28, the nation-wide protest day. As the protest day was over, the government is expecting that now it time to reaches them.

However, as home minister is today leaving for Havana to pay tributes to the departed Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, all-party meet is unlikely to be held immediately.

Meanwhile, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan expressed hope that the House will resume functioning smoothly in a “day or two” as the government as well as the opposition parties want discussions to take place.

Responding positively to the opposition demand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be present in both the houses during debate on demonetization, BJP leaders are trying to convince them that the Prime Minister could speak Parliament if there is a proper debate.

Making it clear it is not possible for the prime minister to sit in both houses of parties all through the debate, union ministers are assuring that he would certainly interview during debates and answer to all the points being raised by opposition leaders.

The opposition led by the Congress is pressing for a debate under a rule that entails voting, besides demanding Narendra Modi’s clarification over his shock announcement scrapping high-value banknotes that has left millions of Indians scrambling for cash. However, the government seems to be not ready for voting.
