New Delhi: After a three-day break, Parliament is meeting on Monday under the shadow of February 13 incident in the Lok Sabha, that set a new record of unruly and unparliamentary behaviour by the MPs.

Finance Minister P Chidambaram may dole out some sops while doing a tightrope walk to keep the fiscal deficit under check when he presents the interim budget for 2014-15 in Parliament on Monday.

Along with the budget, he will present a vote-on-account to seek Parliament’s sanction for spending till July. By tradition, the interim budget does not contain proposals seeking to tinker with direct taxes, nor are there any policy announcements, although there may be some sops for the common man. (PTI)
