The opposition National Democratic Alliance on Monday broke its three-day boycott of the Lok Sabha for a day to participate in the discussion and voting on the Finance Bill.
The alliance will resume its boycott of Parliament indefinitely from Tuesday protesting against the United Progressive Alliance government's 'hostile and vindictive' attitude.
The opposition's boycott of the proceedings in Rajya Sabha continues.
After a 90-minute meeting of the NDA Parliamentary Party chaired by former prime minister and alliance chairman Atal Bihari Vajpayee, BJP Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj told reporters that the NDA Coordination Committee would meet again after the voting on the Finance Bill later in the day to chalk out its future course of action.
Swaraj said the decision to continue with the three-day boycott was taken as the UPA government "failed to come up with any satisfactory response" to break the impasse.
She described as a "mere formality" the prime minister's telephone calls to the leaders of the opposition in both Houses urging them to reconsider their decision.
