 　　印度议会休会

NEW DELHI, April 23 (Xinhua) -- The Indian Parliament was adjourned1 for the second day in a row Tuesday following uproar2 by the country's main opposition3 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which demanded Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's resignation over the coal scam.

　　Both the Houses of Parliament -- the Lok Sabha (the Lower House) and the Rajya Sabha (the Upper House) had to be adjourned by Speaker Meira Kumar and Chairman Hamid Ansari, also the Indian Vice4 President, after the BJP refused to relent over the issue of Prime Minister's resignation for his alleged5 role in the allocation of coal blocks to private companies when he held the portfolio6 of the Coal Ministry7.
　　The uproar came as a parliamentary panel, headed by a Congress Member of Parliament, tabled its report on the coal scam, which the BJP claimed was aimed at hushing up the scam and giving a clean chit to the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government.
　　The BJP also demanded the sacking of the Law Minister Ashwani Kumar over his alleged interference in the preparation of the probe report by the country's Central Bureau of Investigation8 for submission9 to Supreme10 Court on the coal scam. They were later joined by other opposition parties in both Houses of Parliament.
　　"It is not acceptable that the government suppresses the truth. We demand that the Prime Minister resigns and the Law Minister should be sacked," BJP's deputy leader of Upper House Ravi Shankar Prasad said in Rajya Sabha.
　　However, the government said the demand for the Prime Minister' s resignation was baseless. "There is no basis to BJP's demand for Prime Minister's resignation," Indian Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath said.
　　The coal scam allegedly cost the country billions of rupees because it did not follow a transparent11 bidding process when allocation of the coal blocks happened. The government denies any wrongdoing.
　　The Parliament, which reconvened its Budget Session this week, was adjourned Monday following uproar by the BJP over the recent gangrape of a five-year-old girl in the nationa capital.
