It should find a middle path on the coal issue to end the disruptions caused by BJP and its allies as coal scam too is no less important, Mayawati said in a statement,demanding the government to extend the session by 10 to 12 days,if necessary,to pass the Bill. Charging the Congress for playing a double game,the BSP chief put the onus on the government to find a middle path for facilitating the passage of the Bill. The Centre should find a way for peaceful conduct of business in the Rajya Sabha by controlling people who are opposed to the measure, she said. Quota will lead to anarchy: Sena Pitching itself strongly against quota for SCs and STs in promotions,the Shiv Sena Thursday cautioned against violence over the issue. Aarakshan se desh jalega,desh jalega,desh jalega, the Shiv Sena members shouted in Parliament THursday.
