Chennai:
The DMK will go in favour of foreign direct investment (FDI) in
retail in parliament if there is a debate followed by voting,
party chief M. Karunanidhi said Tuesday.
"There is no denying ... the possibility of the United Progressive
Alliance (UPA) government falling if the debate on FDI in retail
is taken under Rule 184 of parliament as demanded by BJP and other
parties," Karunanidhi said in a statement here.
Stressing that the party was against FDI in retail, Karunanidhi
said "communal parties" like the BJP would take advantage of the
situations if the government collapsed.
He said no opportunity should be given for a government of the BJP
or any other government which has the BJP's backing.
This would only result in "more false corruption charges" like the
Rs.1.76 trillion 2G spectrum scam to emerge.
Given this situation, there was a compulsion for the UPA
government to continue, he said.
Referring to New Delhi's assurance that states would not be forced
to allow FDI in retail, Karunanidhi said retailers and farmers in
Tamil Nadu would not be affected.
The DMK is a key constituent of the government and has 18 members
in the Lok Sabha.
