Hoping to end the deadlock in Parliament, the Bharatiya Janata Party has called for an all-party meeting on Monday after the Congress chose to skip the meet called last week. The Monsoon session has already witnessed four all-party meetings but the impasse continues. The Congress has relentlessly been demanding the resignations of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje over the controversy surrounding former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan is also facing the ire over allegations of involvement in the multi-crore Vyapam scam.
