Govt agrees to FDI debate with voting in Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha

NEW DELHI: The four-day logjam in Parliament ended on Thursday with the government accepting opposition's demand for a debate over the issue of allowing FDI in retail under a rule that entails voting.

Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar allowed a discussion on the subject under a rule that entails voting.

"I have received 30 notices for discussion on FDI in multi-brand retail under Rule 184. I have admitted the motion to allow the discussion. The date and the time will be decided later," the Speaker announced in the House.



Her observation came minutes after the leader of the House Sushilkumar Shinde, parliamentary affairs minister Kamal Nath and leader of the opposition Sushma Swaraj met her in her chamber before the House met for the day.

Government had on Wednesday itself given clear signals that it has no problem in having a discussion on FDI under a rule that entails voting after Nath held consultations with Swaraj and her Rajya Sabha counterpart Arun Jaitley.

Swaraj welcomed the decision of the Speaker. "I welcome the decision. I assure you smooth functioning of the House," she said immediately after the Speaker allowed it.

Parliament has not been functioning since winter session began on November 22 with the Left and the Right making a common cause on the demand for a discussion under a rule that entails voting.

In Rajya Sabha, chairman Hamid Ansari admitted notices for discussion on FDI in retail under a rule which entails voting.

Addressing reporters outside Parliament House, minister of state for parliamentary affairs Rajeev Sukla said: "The government has agreed to a debate with voting."
