TMC quotes Tagore, debate moves to UPA

In Parliament Trinamool MP Saugata Roy has ended his debate. Roy compliments Swaraj and then does a flashback to the no-trust vote. Opposition benches listen in with stony silence. Roy then says how 'Chinas' and the 'Americas' will only benefit from FDI and not India. He then draws on Rabindranath Tagore, the last bastion of the Bengali and says, "I'm from Bengal the place where Siraj-ud-daulah lost the Battle of Plassey. As Tagore said, 'they came as traders and became kings'," he says.

After a blink and miss speech by Hasan Khan from the CPM, Kapil Sibal is now speaking.
