New Delhi: The two-day debate in Parliament on foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail under Rule 184 resumed on Wednesday in Lok Sabha. Voting on the motion is expected to be held around 6 pm this evening. We are not against market, says Yadav If we wanted to topple government, then would have supported TMC’s no-trust motion, says Yadav. No intention to topple government, says Sharad Yadav. JD(U)’s Sharad Yadav says the government is concerned only about the market, not the country. Will welcome FDI only if it increases productivity, says CPI(M)’s Basudeb Acharia. FDI in retail will lead to unemployment, says Acharia. Govt should rethink over it, he adds. Farmers are forced to sell produce at low prices, says CPI(M)’s Acharia. Will Wal-Mart open cold storage in India, asks Acharia. Don’t want to react to the speech made by Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj, says PM. Why would we have a debate if we are not sure of numbers, says Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
