"We have decided to stick to our stand that we will not allow Parliament to transact any business till the tainted ministers are dropped. Added to it is the governors' issue. We will strongly raise these matters in both the Houses and stall the proceedings," BJP leader Vijay Kumar Malhotra told PTI after a meeting of NDA leaders.

The NDA MPs would meet again on Tuesday to chalk out the future strategy for the session, he said.

Monday's meeting, convened by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha LK Advani, was attended by almost all the NDA partners.
