It happened so on Friday when the main opposition party BJP demanded probe into Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel links to the IPL. BJP leader Sushma Swaraj blamed the government of trying to protect the NCP leaders and coalition in the IPL saga. Various members of the house expressed their views on the IPL controversy after which the Lok Sabha was adjourned till 12 pm on Friday due to uproar over the IPL issue. JDU chief Sharad Yadav demanded probe into the IPL affairs by a joint parliamentary committee. He also supported Sushma Swaraj's allegations that the Congress was trying to protect NCP and coalition leaders. Menwhile, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee assured that he would convey the sentiments of the House to the prime minister. He also said that all the actions cannot be taken in a hurried manner. |
