New Delhi: The left
parties want a debate and vote on foreign direct investment (FDI)
in multi-brand retail in the upcoming winter session of
parliament, CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury said Friday.
Addressing a press conference ahead of the winter session of
parliament, Yechury said the Left will give notice for a debate on
FDI in retail under rules that entail voting.
"The Left wants vote on FDI in parliament, we want the government
to understand the reality," Yechury said.
"We want the session to function, we want that this should not be
a repeat of last session which was washed out," he said adding
that the washout was due to a "match fixing" between ruling
Congress and main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"We are appealing to all other parties that FDI in multi-brand
retail is not in favour of the country. We are in discussion with
the other secular opposition parties," Yechury added.
The winter session of parliament starts Nov 22.
