New Delhi: Lok Sabha
Speaker Meira Kumar Thursday allowed a debate under voting rules
on foreign investment in multi-brand retail.
She was responding to notices submitted by the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) for a
debate on the issue under rule 184, which entails voting.
"I have allowed a debate on FDI retail under rule 184," the
speaker said.
Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj thanked the speaker for
allowing BJP's motion and assured that the house will run
smoothly.
"I thank you for allowing the motion and I assure you that now the
house will run smoothly," she said.
The date and time of the debate is to be decided later.
Both houses of parliament have been seeing disruptions since the
winter session began Nov 22, with the opposition adamant on a
debate on the issue under rules that entail voting.
