Two weeks have elapsed of winter session of Parliament, but government has not found any solution of GST deadlock yet. Now, only eight days are left, therefore the Finance Mininster, Arun Jaitley has expressed a worry regarding the GST bill. The Tea Meeting of PM Modi with senior leaders of Congress has also failed.
On the other side, a lunch meeting between the Central government and the main opposition party with Mallikarjun Kharge also has been worthless. Leader of Congress in Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi & his deputy Anand Sharma and Jyotiraditya Scindia met with M Venkaiah Naidu and Arun Jaitley. According to Naidu, “Both side decided to meet after Khargeji returns”.
Mr. Anand Sharma said, “The issues on which we were having ongoing parleys… those issues remain inconclusive and is a work in progress. We didn’t have a structured discussion today… It will not be proper to have a formal discussion in the absence of Khargeji”
“The last session of Parliament did not function. The current session of Parliament is also threatened with a wash-out. The reasons for the wash-out of the current session keep changing by the hour. The nation is waiting for Parliament to discuss public issues, to legislate and approve a historic Constitution Amendment enabling the GST. All this is being indefinitely delayed. The question we need to ask ourselves is are we being fair to ourselves and this country?”, while Arun Jaitley posted on facebook.

Mr. Jaitley indicated to a speech of J.L. Nahru. As per the sources, Jawaharlal Nehru has said in the Lok Sabha on March 28, 1957, “Here, we have sat in this Parliament, the sovereign authority of India, responsible for the governance of India… All of us, if not always, at any rate from time to time, must have felt this high sense of responsibility and destiny to which we had been called…”
Jaitley further added, “Those who claim the legacy of Pandit ji must ask themselves the question, what kind of history are they making.”
Naidu also said, “It appears that the Congress is inventing some excuse or the other on a daily basis to do so.” He told reporters that it is disappointment over the disruption of Parliament.
