December 04, 2012 17:46

More on what Mulayam Singh said in Parliament: "Government must roll back FDI it will not benefit the nation. How will small businessmen compete with big retail houses? All FDI will do is increase poverty in the country and lead to massive unemployment."

Rebutting Kapil Sibal's claim that only cities with 10 lakh population and above will be allowed to attract FDI, Mulayam Singh says that small places have poor traders who will not be able to sustain business."

Looking at Sonia Gandhi, he said, "You seem to be forgetting Swadeshi and you are looking at foreign formulas to detriment of the aam admi." The Samajwadi Party wants an all-party meet on FDI.
