With the controversy on alleged corruption in Commonwealth Games projects raging, the Lok Sabha is likely hold a discussion on CWG preparations on Monday.
The issue of alleged large-scale corruption in the Games projects today rocked Lok Sabha with the entire opposition attacking the government accusing it of allowing "loot" of public money.
Members of the BJP, JD(U), Left parties and Samajwadi Party targeted the government on the issue. The Left demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe charges of corruption in the games projects.
Parliamentary sources said the government has already asked the Speaker to list the discussion on the Games under Rule 193. While sports minister MS Gill will reply to the debate, urban development minister S Jaipal Reddy is expected to intervene in the matter.
A discussion on the Bhopal gas tragedy and the recommendations of the GoM will also take place next week, sources said.
However, no slot has been allotted to the issue of alleged misuse of the CBI. Opposition BJP had accused the Centre of misusing the agency following the arrest of former Gujarat minister Amit Shah in Soharabuddin fake encouter case.
Sources said that Congress members wanted a discussion on the Hindu terror issue though no notice has been received so far on the matter.
Sources also indicated that the government was open to the idea of extending the session to make up for the time lost in the first week of the ongoing monsoon session due to protests by the Opposition on the price rise issue.
The session is slated to conclude on August 27.
