Union Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday said she never helped Lalit Modi in getting travel documents from the British authorities.
The minister told the Rajya Sabha the she has been waiting since last two weeks to make her stand clear.
"This issue about me is being raised since the last two weeks. I had informed it through the leader of the house that I am ready for discussion. Since last seven days, I am sitting here every day so that discussion may start," she said amid ruckus in the house.
"But they don't start the discussion, they just create ruckus. The facts, this notice is based on, are baseless and untrue... I never requested the British government to give travel documents to Lalit Modi," said Sushma Swaraj.
Today as per news reports, the House was adjourned first till 12 noon and then 2pm.
Early today the government convened a meeting of major parties to discuss ways to end the stalemate in Parliament in an attempt to save the rest of the monsoon session and push its key reforms.
"Congress must understand they are not only stalling Parliament proceedings but are creating hindrance in the progress of the nation," said minister of state for parliamentary affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.
As per news reports the government was keen to strike a compromise deal but without buckling to the opposition's demand for the ouster of scandal-hit Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh chief ministers Vasundhara Raje and Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
