FDI decision should be withdrawn immediately: Trinamool
“Now they [government] have called for an all-party meeting on FDI. But what is the point when you have already decided. We want the FDI decision to be immediately withdrawn," TMC parliamentary party leader Sudeep Bandopadhaya told reporters outside Parliament House.
However,
he
hastened
to
add
that
the
TMC
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
opposition"s
demand
on
the
issue.
“We
have
nothing
to
do
with
opposition"s
move
in
Parliament
or
outside
Parliament.
We
have
given
our
views."
Claiming that the party had played a major role in getting the prices of fuel reduced, the TMC leader said, “Opposition parties have also opposed fuel hike but what happened. It is the TMC which has protested the fuel hike effectively as all our MPs had come to meet the Prime Minister on the issue and as a result petrol price was reduced within 15 days."
Asked what will be their stand in the all-party meeting, he said, “We will oppose the FDI decision at the meeting also. We are of the opinion that it should have been discussed before the decision."
