PM's all-party meeting set to begin this afternoon

November 26, 2012 13:40

Both Houses of Parliament have been adjourned till Tuesday following uproar on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail. The BJP earlier in the day gave a notice for suspension of Question Hour to discuss FDI in multi-brand retail.

Meanwhile, the Congress-led UPA Government has convened an all-party meeting here today to discuss the ongoing deadlock in Parliament over FDI in multi-brand retail.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath has convened today's meeting, which is scheduled to take place at around 1 pm. This meeting comes at a time when the first two days of the Winter Session last week saw Parliament being paralysed on the issue. Many parties in the Opposition have remained adamant on discussion under a rule that entails voting under Rule 184.
