New Delhi: The Winter Session of Parliament beginning tomorrow (Dec 1, 2004) is likely to be stormy with main Opposition BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) seeking to make an issue out of the Kanchi Shankaracharya's arrest, return of JMM (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha) Chief Sibu Soren in the Union Cabinet and the decision to move an adjournment motion over the spat between Union Ministers Laloo Prasad Yadav and Ram Vilas Paswan.

Besides the contentious issues, a heavy legislative agenda awaits the Parliament.

"We have written to Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee seeking to move an adjournment motion on the issue (of differences within Cabinet) on December, 2 as the Cabinet has a collective responsibility and this sort of infighting among Ministers is against this very concept," Deputy Leader of BJP in Lok Sabha V K Malhotra said.

He said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh owes an explanation as to how this kind of infighting is being overlooked and why no steps are being taken to deal with the situation.

The Samajwadi Party (SP) has also been critical of the tussle between Prasad and Paswan and the "failure" of the Prime Minister to rein in the Ministers.

The SP, which gives outside support to the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) Government, has asked the Prime Minister to set its house in order and not to take the party's support for granted.
