Even as the Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme Court that the Government suggested changes to the draft report on the investigation into coal scam, the Congress has maintained that there is no need for the Law Minister to resign.

The party is waiting for the Karnataka Assembly election results to retort to the charges levelled by the Opposition against the Law Minister and the Prime Minister.

A senior Minister told reporters in Parliament that there is no question of the Law Minister's resignation. “Let the court announce its verdict,’’ he said.

Both the Houses of Parliament, meanwhile, were disrupted on Monday too on the issue.

The Opposition parties stormed into the Well demanding the resignation of the Law Minister, the Prime Minister and the Railway Minister, whose nephew is arrested by CBI for taking bribe from a senior Railway official.
