The Congress party on Wednesday denied that it would broker a deal with the government in Parliament on several outstanding issues.

"These are baseless reports. We don't believe in setting deals with the government in Parliament on any issue," Congress leader PL Punia said.

Media reports had earlier speculated that the Congress would look to broker a deal on issues like the Goods and Service Tax (GST) Bill and the Land Acquisition Bill in the upcoming Monsoon Session of the Parliament.

The Monsoon Session of Parliament is scheduled to begin on July 21, and will last for three weeks, concluding on August 13.
