Practice what you preach, Jaitely tells undecided parties

December 06, 2012 14:02

Jaitley continues, "The arrogance of power may prompt you (the government) to stand by it and pursue it (FDI) But I beseech you to reconsider and vote with your conscience. For our allies, I say, let us unify and vote against FDI."

And for those who were undecided, he said they may preach that FDI is harmful to the country, but they should practice what they preach by voting against it.

"We are the nominated members of Parliament, we represent the conscience of the nation, just because the government has accepted your nomination, doesn't
mean it's time for thanksgiving."
