New Delhi, Aug 16: The ruling National Democratic Alliance will hold a meeting today in the wake of Opposition decision to move a no-confidence motion against Vajpayee government. The meeting, which would be held at the Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee`s residence, would discuss the stand of BJP and its allies on the issue and other political aspects, the sources said. The Congress had on Thursday tabled a no-confidence motion against the BJP-led coalition in the midst of a week-long stalemate over government`s refusal to part with a CVC report to Public Accounts Committee seeking to probe defence purchases during the Kargil conflict. Congress president Sonia Gandhi gave notice of the motion which party spokesman Jaipal Reddy said expresses Opposition`s lack of faith in the government.
The motion which takes top priority over all other business is expected to be taken up on Monday for a two-day debate after which Prime Minister Vajpayee will intervene on Tuesday followed by voting. Bureau Report
