FDI in retail: Opposition to corner govt in Parliament

NEW DELHI: In a rare show of unity, a combined Opposition will seek to corner the UPA government in Parliament on Monday on its decision to allow FDI in retail. A clear indication to this effect was given today by the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj who said BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi has submitted a notice of adjournment motion on the FDI issue on behalf of the party. We want the House to discuss this issue by way of adjournment motion tomorrow, she tweeted, adding Governments decision of allowing 51 per cent FDI in retail is not acceptable to us. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley will move a motion to suspend Question Hour to discuss why the Governments decision on allowing FDI in retail should be revoked. Key NDA ally JD(U) has also given a notice of an adjournment motion in Lok Sabha on Monday and efforts are on for floor coordination among opposition parties including BJP, the Left, AIADMK, besides those supporting UPA such as BSP and SP. The Left parties and AIADMK are likely to move similar motions in both the Houses.
