PM made Sonia change her mind on FDI: AIADMK

December 06, 2012 12:23

The chair warns Dr Maitreyan that his party's time is over, but he will be allowed a little more time, as mover of the motion. Dr Maitreyan points out that though Sonia Gandhi had earlier been against FDI, "our prime minister was so impressed by the US that he convinced Soniaji to change her mind about FDI and early this year, she said the party was for introduction of FDI in retail in India."

The PM allows himself a moment's shut-eye, while Mani Shankar Aiyar seems to be vastly amused by Dr Maitreyan's speech.
