Government today stuck to its opposition to setting up of JPC to probe 2G spectrum allocation, saying the matter could be looked into by the Public Accounts Committee which is "almost a permanent JPC".

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who had promised to respond to Opposition's demands for JPC after consulting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, appealed to all parties to help end the stalemate over the issue because of which Parliament is not being allowed to function for the last six consecutive days.

"I am deeply concerned about the situation which is being created where Parliament cannot transact its business.

Therefore my appeal to all political parties is that please try to find a solution," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
