New Delhi: In an effort to break the impasse in Rajya Sabha over Opposition boycott on the issue of
denial of Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) report to Public Accounts Committee (PAC),
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj is convening a meeting of Congress leaders in the House
on August 18.
"I have convened a meeting with Congress leaders Manmohan Singh and Pranab Mukherjee to resolve
the issue," Swaraj told reporters.
The Opposition had on August 14 announced boycott of the Rajya Sabha for the remaining period of
the current session on the issue of government's refusal to part with CVC report on Kargil arms
purchases to the Public Accounts Committee.
