New Delhi:
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has expressed hope that parliament
would function normally from Wednesday after it meets following a
four-day break.
"Hopefully," said the prime minister at the Navy Day "At Home" to
queries if parliament would function normally Wednesday.
The winter session of parliament has seen repeated adjournments
mainly on the government's decision to allow Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) in retail and rising prices.
The opposition has demanded a roll back of the FDI decision, while
some of government's allies, including the Trinamool Congress,
have expressed strong reservations.
Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee Saturday quoted union Finance
Minister Pranab Mukherjee as saying the government had decided to
suspend the decision but there has been no official announcement.
